Watch out! Do not mix this up, this is not a SAO. You cannot say 
*tlhIngan maH 'e' taHjaj*

The {taHjaj} here refers to the fact that we are klingons, so it's 
actually the subject.

{tlhIngan maH. taHjaj ngoDvam}
"we are klingons. may this fact continue."

(We recently had the same situation with {teH}.)

I'm sure that is these examples, it's okay to omit the {'e'} but I won't 
say that is always the case. It's like in English: "I'm hungry. You know 
it."

If you like a canon basis, check ST6:

Klingon: Daq SovlaHbe'taH qIrq.
Chang: 	 DaSovbej'a'?
