Going strictly by what's described in TKD, {jItlhutlh je} might be interpreted to mean "I (in addition to other people) drink", rather than "I drink (in addition to doing other things)".
I see this the same way. When I read {jISop 'ej jItlhutlh je} it sounds to me like person A says {jISop 'ej jItlhutlh} and then person B answers {jISop 'ej jItlhutlh je}. So with other words, {je} following a verb means "too" in the sense of having the same situation but it does not mean {'ej}, as having a second action in a row. If that would work, you could say {jISop, jItlhutlh je}. Interpreting this from TKD, where the example {qaleghpu' je} is explained, it says: "I and others saw you" -> this means {je} refers to subject: "others, and me too" "I saw you and others." -> this means {je} refers to object: "others, and me too" In no example it is said that je can be used pointing at the action. If an action is listed, I'm sure that one should always use {'ej}, not {je}. Remember the joke: When the guard says {jI'oj je} he does not mean "in addition to being hungry, I am thirsty". What he says is "you are thristy, so am I". -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.klingonisch.de http://www.klingonwiki.net/Word/Je
