[tlhIngan Hol] using {je} with two different verbs

[SuStel]

These are interesting enough to analyze one by one.

This is the first time in this list that *je* is used to join two 
different verbs, in the same manner as *jISop. jItlhutlh je.* The 
subject remains the same between the sentences.

Another case of the verb changing while the subject stays the same. The 
subjects are speaking, arguing, and enjoying themselves.

This is apparently the first canonical instance of *je* being used for 
English /even./ I remember Nick Nicholas did this all the time in his 
Shakespearean translations, and I resisted it. The previous sentence is 
*SanlIj DanarghlaHbe',* so the literal translation is /You cannot escape 
your fate; you are also not safe (slang) in a tower./

In the previous two stanzas, Kahless grows mighty and strong, "and it 
fueled his will to fight." Then you get why he "also" traveled. There is 
very little connection between these two things.

This is the first example I can think of where the difference between 
the two sentences is the adverbial. I lived then and I also live now.

My conclusion is that *je* is not restricted to the examples in /TKD/ 
where it is treated like the noun conjunction is spread across two 
instances of the verb. That is, *qaleghpu' je *seems to be *SoH pIlegh 
jIH latlhpu' je* or *SoH latlhpu' je Saleghpu',* but it can be used for 
*qaQoypu' 'ej qaleghpu'***and if you say *wa'Hu' qaleghpu' je* then it 
can even be used for *cha'Hu' qaleghpu' 'ej wa'Hu' qaleghpu'.* I can't 
rule out the grammaticality of mayqel's suggestion, though I again 
question its necessity.
