While I like using the suffix {-'e'} to mark the head noun that links
the relative clause and the main clause, Okrand has rarely used it,
and in this particular case, since there is only one noun in the
relative clause, it doesn't really need to be marked.
What you've written is definitely not wrong. It's just putting an
unusual quantity of focus on {nuHvetlh}.
