The only indication we have, is that it's not {Dal pagh jaghpu'}.

I know, the plural suffix is never required, but it's an indication. And
knowing that Klingon usually works different than what one would expect
from English, this is a very small clue that it's singular. The plural
suffix is used on many places in TKW. So if it was needed here, I think
Okrand would have used it.

But again, it's just theory, no proof.
