The only instance I can think of where the number {pagh} precedes a noun to count it is {Dal pagh jagh}, but the prefix doesn't tell us whether {pagh jagh} is singular or plural.
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. -- Lieven L.
