Can you use a relative clause in another relative clause?
HoHbogh tlhIngan (the Klingon that died)
*HoHbogh tlhIngan luja'chuqbogh (the klingon that died that they discuss)
*HoHbogh tlhIngan luja'chuqbogh vISov (I know the klingon that died that
they discuss)

Is this valid? Is there a better way to say the last sentence?

One other question, is this sentence correct:

Doch cho'angbogh vISov 'e' vIHar
I believe I know the thing you show me
