{'e'} does obviously refer to the previous sentence.  That's its core 
meaning, after all.  My concern is with {Sap} being able to take *any*
sort of object, {'e'} or otherwise.  "Volunteer" sounds intransitive 
to me, like "do calisthenics" or "be thirsty" or "have a headache". 
{Sap} doesn't have a definition like {Hech} "intend, mean to" which 
invites an object.  It's more like {vem} "wake up, cease sleeping".

Maybe we'll discover that {Sap} can also mean "volunteer to", the way 
we recently found out that {SIv} can apparently mean "wonder if".  But
today, {...'e' Sap} just sounds wrong to me.
