The correct object for /jang/ is apparently the person being answered (e.g.
/qajang/ "I answer you"), in which case there is no way /'e'/ could be an
appropriate object. Remember, if you're talking about conversation (such as
"I answered, 'I will kill you now'"), /jang/ is not a "verb of saying."
Only /jatlh/ and /ja'/ work in that capacity. (Thus, /jIjang; jIjatlh DaH
qaHoH/ or /jIjang; DaH qaHoH jIjatlh/.)
