<p>I think it's meant more like "Fools, and only fools, are never
scared."</p>
<p>First of all, remember that <b>-'e'</b> means more than the
topic-drawing "as for such-and-such." It also means focus: "this
thing, not something else." Remember:<br>
</p>
<p><b>jIlujpu' jIH'e'</b><i> I (and only I) have failed.</i> (It
doesn't mean "This sentence is all about me, and I failed.")<br>
</p>
<p>In fact, this is what <b>-'e'</b> means whenever it is the
object or subject of a verb. So you can interpret the line like
this: "One never scares fools (and this is only true of fools)."</p>
<p>The line is missing a required <b>lu-.</b><br>
