It would appear that my main problem is that I didn't know how to use {'e'}.
The vague dictionary definition had led me to believe that one could use it
to basically call attention to the previous topic/subject of conversation.
Also, can I just use Dochvetlh for "one (of those)," because my point was to
try and translate _without_ a specific noun.
When I said "'That,' I said,' I meant "'(Insert previous topic here),' I
said." I was not trying to say the word "that."
