Good question. I initially had a similar reaction of doubt, though I resolved it for myself by realizing it’s like saying “One is a Romulan,” with the generic “one”, like “One should finish one’s sentences.”

So, I found it acceptable in a case like, “{romuluSngan ghaHlu’chugh nIvoqlaHbe’ latlhpu’.}

Still, I would find proper use highly uncommon, as experience bears out. I’ve been speaking Klingon a very long time and never came up with a case in which I spontaneously needed {ghaHlu’}, nor have I seen others use it.

We know we can say things like, {vIghro' 'oHba'}, {Duj 'oHlaw'}, {nov ghaHchugh, vaj..}

I was wondering, if we could say {romuluSngan ghaHlu'} for "someone (unspecified) is a romulan".

There's something, which feels strange seeing/reading the {ghaHlu'}, but I can't find what it actually is.
