Nope. {je} is a *noun* conjunction, and following a verb it adds the
"also, too" idea to the meaning of either the subject or object of the
sentence.
TKD 5.3, page 55: {qaleghpu' je} "I also saw you, I saw you too"
Its ambiguity is noted by saying it could mean either "I and others
saw you" or "I saw you and others." It does *not* mean something
like "I saw you in addition to hearing you."
