<div class="">They don’t have relative pronouns or relative
clauses at all. Instead, they pair a rhetorical question with
its answer. It’s nearly identical to your attempt, but there is
no Sentence As Object. It’s just two sentence next to each
other:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">chay’ Duj chenmoHlu’? jISov.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">or</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">chay’ Duj chenmoHlu’? mIw vISov.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This lacks the “Question As Object” illegal grammar.
It’s perfectly legal, and accomplishes the same goal. It’s not
like English, but it conveys the meaning.</div>

<p>Not my preferred solution. Rhetorical questions to avoid illegal
grammar seem very out of character for the language. I'm not
saying it can't be done or that Klingons don't do it, mind you.</p>
<p>A better solution: <b>Duj chenmoHmeH mIw vISov</b><i> I know the
ship-making procedure.</i><br>
