Could I not say:
ghutar HoH HoD 'ej HIq tlhutlh je.
ghutar HoH HoD 'ej nov qIH je Hota'ro'.

Does the verb that the je appends to have to have some relation to 
the previous verb or share subjects and objects? The second one seems 
pretty strange. but I'm sure I could concoct a context in which it made sense.
