<p>Since a relative clause is treated grammatically like a noun, doing this breaks no rules. But it's never appeared in canon, and it doesn't appear to be something that Klingons do.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Look at your English translation: <i>weapon which kills which destroys.</i> There's no rule in English that disallows that phrase, but it wouldn't be said in English. You'd say
<i>weapon which kills and destroys.</i> Your phrase breaks no rule, but it's also not right.<o:p></o:p></p>
