But it's a pronoun and we've seen other pronouns with suffixes.
However, {'e'} and {net} seem to be different than other pronouns.

De'vID:
>> For example, is {'e'mo'} "because of that [i.e., the previous sentence]" legal?

ghunchu'wI':

If I was writing and could revise my sentence, that's what I would do.
 This came up because I wanted to say something, and I'd already said
the first sentence, paused, and then I realised I wanted to add {-mo'}
to the first verb and continue with a second part.  I wondered if I
could've salvaged the situation by continuing {'e'mo'...}.

Also, I think {'e'} could refer to another person's just-spoken
sentence in a conversation (we have from ST:VI {'e' neHbe' vavwI'}).
So conceivably someone could want to add a suffix to {'e'} because the
pronoun is referring to something someone else said, e.g.,

A: {mutIchpu'}
B: {'e'mo' DaHoH'a'?}
