HIqaghQo' qaja'pu' is legal according to TKD 6.2.5, entitled "Sentences as

ji'oj jatlh 'avwI' is legal according to my feelings.
Please note the title of the section.
"Similarly, with verbs of saying (say, tell, ask, etc.), {'e'} and {net} are
not used. The two phrases simply follw one another, in either order."
Further ....."An aspect marker may always be attached to the verb of saying,
regardless of whether it is the first or second verb."
