It doesn't work because *-'e'* in a relative clause makes the noun it's 
attached to the head noun of the clause. I don't think you get to choose 
whether it means head noun or emphasis.

When *-'e'* is performing its role as marking emphasis, it's not really 
working as a syntactic marker, and is only technically a type 5 suffix. 
If you could choose emphasis over head noun marker, then your sentence 
would work, but it wouldn't really be an example of what mayqel is 
asking about.
