As for Romulans, enemies them.

By that logic, why wouldn’t {jaghpu’ chaH chaH’e’} be possible — if redundant and possibly overly dramatic?

“As for them, they are enemies.”

Certainly not something one would say in normal conversation, but being dramatic for the same of emphasis? Seems plausible. 

Look, I can't disprove it. I also can't disprove chaH chaH chaH'e', or even ghaH ghaH ghaH je chaH ghaH'e' ghaH'e' ghaH'e' je, but they're still not right.

Between clearly grammatical and clearly ungrammatical there lies the hazy middle-ground of "I see what you did there." Grammatical doesn't only mean follows the rules of syntax; it also means What you say is accepted.
