You're missing the point he was trying to make.  It's not about <'e'>.  He 
was just saying "you ain't good speaking your tlhIngan Hol."   Like what I 
just said in English it's understandable, but anyone who knows English can do 
some nitpicking with my grammar in that sentence.

<paw> vIHech
I intend to "He arrives."

<paw> jIjatlh 'e' vIHech
I intended to say <paw>.

I shot a targ in my pajamas. Why the targ was wearing them I'll never know.
