I disagree.  It's NOT a connector.  It IS a pronoun standing in for the
previous sentence "you speak".  {bIjatlh 'e' yImev} is TWO sentences:
"You speak.  Stop that."  Look again at TKD 6.2.5 - it clearly states
that {'e'} refers to the previous SENTENCE, and the entire statement is
really two sentences.
