Uhm, I don't think the "noun prounoun noun'e'" construction is supposed to
be limited to "noun pronoun noun'e'". My interpretation is that
*whenever* a pronoun is used as a verb, the subject of the verb takes 'e',
period. Whether or not there's a predicate nominative.
So the wording in the dictionary is 100% correct, IMESHO. (But only
IMESHO - I'm in no position to speak authoritatively. End disclaimer.)
