What do you think? Why or why not?

Since the {b 'oH a'e'} translates to "as for a it is b", and since the emphatic {-'e'}, essentially describes the emphasis on the voice of the speaker, then I would say that yes, we could have an emphatic {-'e'} on the b.

Can you give me an example of {b 'oHbogh a'e'} where b is the subject
of a larger sentence?

the liars which are the ferengi deceived us

I think that the klingon sentence is correct, though I am not quite certain as far as the english translation is concerned.
