     You might want to check out TKD 5.1 (page 51) again. Klingon pronouns
are not nouns as they are in English. They are chuvmey. In 6.3 it suggests
that pronouns can take verbal suffixes (the only given example being -taH),
so you might try to argue that -mo' could be added as a VERBAL suffix (4.2.9,
page 175), but even then, the argument is very weak for 'e' because in 5.1 it
plainly states that 'e' and net are special cases.

     You got a little loose with your "therefore".
