What is the role of the {-'e'} on the {vIghro'} ?

It marks the topic, making clear that we do not need a CAT which
is not

a god, instead of saying we don't need the GOD that the cat is

<p>It marks the head noun of the relative clause, which can be
thought of as the topic of the relative clause. It does not mark
the topic of the sentence as a whole.</p>
<p>When <b>-'e'</b> is used for one purpose, it doesn't seem to
mean the others simultaneously. So when <b>-'e'</b> marks the
head noun of a relative clause, it probably doesn't also indicate
emphasis or focus.<br>
