Some speculation: while Okrand defines {net} as being used when the
subject of the verb is "one, someone", the examples given in TKD seem
to mean "people in general" (eg, qama'pu' DIHoH net Sov). Maybe he
avoided {net} because "people in general" did not choose the player to
join the yan 'ISletlh, but some specific unnamed person. In that case,
maybe {'e' wIvlu'} is the way to go. Some more examples of {'e'} and
{net} from canon might clarify the issue.
