Makes sense to me. At worst, I'd probably interpret it as a short or
clipped version of something like *<juH> vIghItlh 'e' vIHechbe'. <jul>
vIghItlh 'e' vIHech.* *"I didn't mean to write 'juH', I meant to write
'jul'." *(Or replace *vIghItlh* with *jIjatlh* for spoken Klingon.) My
guess is that most uses of *Hech* will have an *'e'*, but I don't see why
it couldn't work with a noun object now and then.
