Also known as restrictive and nonrestrictive relative clauses. It may be 
easier to look up information on them using these terms.

Yes, you can use other type 5 suffixes on the head noun, provided those 
suffixes apply in the main sentence, not the relative clause.

*'u' SepmeyDaq Sovbe'lu'bogh lenglu'meH He ghoSlu'bogh retlhDaq 'oHtaH* 
(Skybox 99)

The first relative clause, not placed in the main sentence, would be 
*'u' Sepmey Sovbe'lu'bogh*/unknown regions of the universe/ (notice, 
however, the erroneous lack of a *lu-*). If we call that noun phrase 
*X,* then the entire purpose clause is *XDaq lenglu'meH*/in order to 
travel to X./ That *-Daq* is being put onto the head noun of the 
relative clause, the noun-noun construction *'u' Sepmey*/regions of the 
universe*.*/**We know that the *-Daq* cannot apply to the relative 
clause itself, because then *'u' Sepmey* could not be the head noun, 
leaving only the word *Sovbe'lu'bogh* in the relative clause — no head 
noun available.
