[Tlhingan-hol] Interesting {je}

[André Müller]

The {je} here isn't used as a conjunction, but as an adverb following the
verb. In that usage it means "and".

Literally the sentences mean:
"When you abandoned me at Kri'stak, I was alive.
I am also alive now.
I suggest to you."

There are lots of examples of such usage in canon.
