[tlhIngan Hol] Two {-'e'}'s in a pronoun sentence.

[mayqel qunenoS]

I agree 100% with the analysis provided by lieven.

So, if I understand correctly:

Yes, we can have the construction {b'e' 'oH a'e'}.
Yes, we can have the construction {yadda yadda yadda b'e' 'oHbogh 'a'e'}.

If I understand wrong, then do correct me.
