That's probably overdoing it. Drop the {-'e'} and you get the 
effect you want. The reference to this useage is easy to miss. 
TKD page 52: "Pronouns can be used as nouns, but only for 
emphasis or added clarity." In {puq vIqIp jIH}, the {jIH} 
doesn't add any clarity because it was already obvious that the 
subject was {jIH}, so it can only serve to emphasize the 
subject. Basically, I offer the following increasing emphasis on 
the subject:

puq vIqIp.
puq vIqIp jIH.
puq vIqIp jIH'e'!
puq vIqIp jIH'e' jay'!
