I just noticed an interesting line in paq'batlh:

    QIStaqDaq cholonDI' jIyIn
       DaH jIyIn je
       SoHvaD jIchup

    I am alive as I was
       When you left me at Kri'stak,
       I have an offer to make.

The use of {je} here isn't its usual function of a noun conjunction. The 
things it seems to be conjoining are {QIStaqDaq cholonDI'} and {DaH}, 
i.e., time contexts, neither of which are nouns.
