I think that's so ambiguous as the english: "These things are these 
things." Not so nice.

You could specify:
{Dochmey vIqelbogh bIH Dochmey veb'e'}
"The following this are the things I talked about"

or you say it explicitely:

{DaH Dochmey vIqelta'bogh vIpong}
"I will now name thie things I talked about."
