It’s a small assassination device that has two functions
closely connected – {Sam} (“locate” or “seek and find”) and
{HoH} (“kill”); so closely that “hunter” and “killer” are
hyphenated in English to show they refer to the same thing.
Repeating the subject might imply two separate devices: <o:p></o:p></span></p>

I don't think it can imply two devices. That would require a noun
conjunction. What we have here is a compound sentence as a relative
clause.<br>
<br>
The following would all be correct:<br>
<br>
<blockquote><b>romuluSngan Sambogh nejwI' 'ej HoHbogh nejwI'<br>
romuluSngan Sambogh nejwI' 'ej HoHbogh<br>
rumuluSngan Sambogh 'ej HoHbogh nejwI'<br>
</b></blockquote>
<br>
The explained grammar has the second of repeated nouns elided (as
per TKD 6.2.1), but common usage also shows the first of repeated
nouns being elided to form a sort of "compound verb" (the third
example).<br>
<br>
Even more interesting would be phrases like<br>
<br>
<blockquote><b>yIH muSbogh tlhIngan 'ej yIH HoHbogh tlhIngan<br>
yIH muSbogh tlhIngan 'ej HoHbogh<br>
yIH muSbogh 'ej HoHbogh tlhIngan<br>
yIH muSbogh tlhIngan 'ej yIH HoHbogh<br>
yIH muSbogh tlhIngan 'ej HoHbogh tlhIngan<br>
</b>...and so on.<br>
