[Tlhingan-hol] {je} in noun-noun constructions?

[Felix Malmenbeck]

[Reply All qIpwI' po'Ha' jIH. //qa'meH vIttlhegh tIQ]

In paq'batlh (paq'raD, Canto 9, Stanza 2), there is the phrase:


Dung qo’ pawDI’

qeylIS qorDu’ je ta’’e’ neH

bop bommey

"Upon reaching the upper world,
No one could speak of anything,
But the deeds of Kahless and his kin."

Then, in paq'raD, Canto 12, Stanza 4:


vaSvamDaq

tuq veng je quvvaD

Heghqangbogh SuvwI’ tu’be’lu’’a’

"Is there nobody in this hall
Prepared to die for the honor
Of your tribe and city?"

Can I use {je} in a noun-noun construction to say something like this?

     {chal'a' bIQ'a' je jojDaq jIH.}

Does that make sense at all, or is it forbidden somehow?
