This still makes sense. If it is a time stamp, saying may' lunungbogh repmey'e' is identifying which hours are the time context of the main action (the telling). This is still of the point-to-it-on-a-timeline variety.

You could use qaStaHvIS, but that probably wouldn't have met the constraints of the poetic form.

I should have included the original text.

This is what Kotar and Molor
Have said to Kahless
In the hours before battle.

I would have assumed a {qaStaHvIS} construction here.

Indeed. Is it an emphasized time stamp? Is it a topic? Is it both?

 

Notice also the evidence that the object of ja’ is the thing said and not the person it's said to.
