[the blades] providing both a hand guard and another set of cutting edges. SP2 ➞ In addition to protecting the hand, the blades also cut. This is the first time in this list that je is used to join two different verbs, in the same manner as jISop. jItlhutlh je. The subject remains the same between the sentences. qep'a' wejDIchDaq jatlhtaH tlhIngan Hol HaDwI'pu'. ghoHtaH je. tIv'eghtaH je.

Even in a tower you are not safe. (paq\'batlh) ➞ This is apparently the first canonical instance of je being used for English "even". Nick Nicholas did this all the time in his Shakespearean translations. The previous sentence is SanlIj DanarghlaHbe', so the literal translation is "You cannot escape your fate; you are also not safe (slang) in a tower."

Kahless also went out to search for allies across Kronos, and told them his tale. (paq\'batlh) ➞ In the previous two stanzas, Kahless grows mighty and strong, "and it fueled his will to fight." Then you get why he "also" traveled. There is very little connection between these two things. QIStaqDaq cholonDI' jIyIn DaH jIyIn je
I am alive as I was when you left me at Kri'stak. (paq\'batlh) ➞ This is the first example where the difference between the two sentences is the adverbial: I lived then and I also live now. A possible conclusion is that je is not restricted to the examples in TKD where it is treated like the noun conjunction is spread across two instances of the verb. That is, qaleghpu' je seems to be SoH pIlegh jIH latlhpu' je or SoH latlhpu' je Saleghpu', but it can be used for qaQoypu' 'ej qaleghpu' and if you say wa'Hu' qaleghpu' je then it can even be used for cha'Hu' qaleghpu' 'ej wa'Hu' qaleghpu'.
