[tlhIngan Hol] What exactly does the {'ej} connect ?

[mayqel qunenoS]

hmm.. I see..

so, at the sentence {jIyIttaHvIS 'ej jISoptaHvIS, vIghro' vIgho'}, the
{'ej} *does* connect two sentences:

sentence one: {jIyIt}
sentence two: {jISop}

the {-taHvIS} just creates relative clauses out of these sentences. right ?
