[tlhIngan Hol] Is the emphatic {chaH} Ca'NoN ?

[nIqolay Q]

TKD says "Pronouns may be used as nouns, but only for emphasis or added
clarity. They are not required." So it seems an explicit pronoun can be
used for emphasis, with or without {-'e'}. Perhaps there are levels of
emphasis that haven't been elaborated on.
