Keep in mind that the movies are edited by people who don’t speak Klingon. We don’t even know if what we see is what was intended to have been shot. 

Witness the guy spreading out the map, babbling something like wawawawawawawawawawaaa.

Really? That's like 5 lines before the {'e'}, including a line also spoken by Azetbur, according to my transcript:


Oops, you’re right, that is a bit further back than I had remembered. I looked up a transcript to remind myself what came right before {'e' neHbe' vavoy} and apparently after just one day had already misremembered the exchange as going straight from {… DaH DIHIvnIS} to {… notlh veS …} to {QamvIS Hegh …} to {'e' neHbe' vavoy}.

I think it's much more likely to be referring to an implicit {maQamtaHvIS maHegh}.

"A is better than B"
"But that (i.e., A) is not what daddy wanted."

That does seem more likely.
