nIDtaHghachlIj wa'DIch QaQqu', 'ach mu'tlheghlIj Qav vIyajbe'.
If the {'e'} is supposed to refer to the previous sentence (a bit of a
stretch, but okay in the right setting), having an adverb between the earlier
sentence and {'e'} screws up the effect. Whether the wise ones believe the
construction is legal or not, my opinion is that it is not easily understood,
unlike everything else you said, which was perfect.
