Says who? Where are you getting this from?

I believe it's meant to be joining a previous sentence that isn't stated 
in the example.

yadda yadda, maHotlaHmo' manenchoHlaH, 'ach tugh 'e' vItlhoj.

The main verbs being conjoined are <yadda> and {vItlhoj}.

    qama'pu' DIHoH, tera'ngan wIHoHpu' 'ach 'e' wIlIj
    we kill prisoners, but we forgot to kill the Terran

I would have said it as

    qama'pu' DIHoH, 'ach tera'ngan wIHoHpu' 'e' wIlIj

but I don't see why the former can't work as well. "We kill, but we 
forgot." It's unorthodox, but I don't think it's automatically wrong.
