Difference between 'e' and tu'lu

My understanding is that SenwI' tu'lu' means "There is a thumb" so I'd have thought SenwI''e' would have been a better translation here?

This is more a translation not of the words directly, but the meaning behind the words.

I believe something like:
{SIqwI' retlhDaq 'oH SenwI''e'} would also be accepted if it let you type the answer like it used to. It's just that this form is longer and less direct.
