I say that, but actually there is: *-jaj* forms a subjunctive 
mood.*bInajtaHvIS qeylIS Daghomjaj*/May you encounter Kahless in your 
dreams./ The encounter is strictly a wish, not something that actually 
happens, so it is an irrealis, and since this is indicated 
morphologically, it's pretty much a subjunctive mood.

There are also arguments to be made that certain other suffixes, like 
*-nIS*, also form subjunctive moods.
