not repeating the 'e' of a sao

We have the Ca'Non example of: romuluSngan Sambogh 'ej HoHbogh nejwI' romulan hunter-killer probe The way I understand this, it is either: romuluSngan (Sambogh 'ej HoHbogh) nejwI' (the {Sambogh 'ej HoHbogh} functions like a single verb with a single noun) And/or it functions like: romuluSngan Sambogh 'ej (romuluSngan) HoHbogh nejwI' (the second {romuluSngan} is elided) Suppose now, that based on the above, I write: Example #1: romuluSngan Dujmey Qaw' tlhIngan yo' 'e' luSovbogh 'ej luchaw'bogh tera'ngan DIneH we want terrans who know and allow that the klingon fleet destroys romulan vessels Example #2: romuluSngan Dujmey Qaw' tlhIngan yo' 'e' luSov 'ej luchaw' tera'ngan the terrans know and allow that the klingon fleet destroys the romulan vessels Based on the {romuluSngan Sambogh 'ej HoHbogh nejwI'} example, aren't the examples 1 & 2 to be accepted as being grammatically correct ? ~ Qa'yIn
