nuq vIlaDtaH jay'?

[Boy, do I like Klingon! <grin>]

And a question on the side: is the second sentence correct?
Or should {SIbI'} and {'e'} be reversed?

As far as I understand now, {'e'} references back to the whole sentence
{bIghitlh} in the sentence {SIbI' 'e' yImev [name calling]} that follows.
Here {'e'} is the object and {SIbI'} is an adverbial that, as TKD says,
should be at the beginning of the sentence.

Am I right? (I'm still just a beginnner...)
