Why is the number *one* important? Since the default meaning of *latlh *is *additional one, other one, another one*, it seems to me that *one* can be safely be omitted. A better questions would be: How do you say *two/three/four* (etc.)* more days*?
I feel like *loS latlh jaj* or *latlh loS jaj* are both fine options, I don't really feel like there's a significant distinction in meaning. Until Okrand gives some direction that Klingons tend to prefer one phrasing over another, or that one phrasing is out-and-out wrong, I think it's fine to just leave it up to personal choice for now. Are there many instances of a number used with one member of a N-N construction that could help here?
