[tlhIngan Hol] Are arabic numerals canon ?

[Steven Boozer]

SuStel:
<< I wonder how Klingons would translate the names Ingraham B and Theta Cygni XII?

SuStel's post reminded me about the "Prime" planet names from Klingon Monopoly:

qarDaS wa'  	Cardassia Prime (i.e. the Cardassian homeworld)
qu'rIl wa'  	Kurill Prime (in Gamma Quadrant)
QI'yoS wa'  	Krios Prime  (a Klingon colony planet )
yaDe'ra' wa'  	Yadera Prime (Dominion planet in Gamma Quadrant) 

I've previously used ordinal numbers for the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta Quadrants  (jogh wa'DIch, jogh cha'DIch, etc.), but now I would use cardinal numerals: jogh wa', jogh cha', etc.

No doubt Klingons have their own names for these but in the meantime what about Alpha 177, Memory Alpha , Alpha Cygni, Alpha Carinae II , Alpha Centauri, Beta XII-A, Beta Stromgren, Gamma II, Gamma Hydra IV, the Gamma Canaris region, Delta-Vega, the Delta Expanse, Epsilon Canaris III, etc., etc.?

Yes, we have seen Okrand translate things expressed with Roman numbers in “Federation Standard” – planet names:

nImbuS wej               Nimbus III  (GN)
 
   tlh'a' HoD, nImbuS wej yIghoS. 
   Captain Klaa, proceed to Nimbus III. (ST5 notes)

   nImbuS wej maghoS, He yInab 
   Plot course for Nimbus III.  ST5

  nImbuS wejDaq 'ejDo' 'entepray' ngeHlu'pu' 
  The starship Enterprise has been dispatched to Nimbus III. ST5

pentatlh wej               Penteth III (in Cardassian Union) MKE

   pIvghor yIchu' 'ej pentatlh wej yIjaH 
   Warp to Pentath III. MKE

chaltoq loS                Chaltok IV (in Romulan Star Empire) MKE
la'pa' loS                    Lappa IV (in Ferengi Alliance) MKE
vanDIroS loS             Vandros IV (in Gamma Quadrant) MKE
Do’natu vagh            Donatu V   (qep’a’ 2017)

… and royal names:

(KGT 126):   In Shakespeare's original Klingon version of HenrI' vagh, known in Federation Standard as Henry V, HenrI', the Supreme Commander, gets into an argument with one of his troops the night before a great battle.

The point here is that royal names are read out using the cardinal number (just like planet names), not the ordinal with –DIch as in, say, English king Henry the Eighth.

However, I anxiously await for our honorable Ca'non master to decloak his bird of prey, and shed some light on the matter.
And the question we need him to answer is "are there canon sentences, which were not written for actors, utilizing roman numerals ?".
