I think the intention was that this is colloquial standard Klingon, and the stuff we got later, like the stuff in /The Klingon Way,/ is formal standard Klingon. We're just fuddy-duddies.

Another thing to note is that military speach in Klingon is abbreviated very often, like {baH} instead of {yIbaH}, so {matHa', DoS: 'entepray'} is just perrfectly brief, saying nothing unncecessary.

As chapter seven of TKD notes, Clipped Klingon is used commonly in both military and everyday Klingon. "Extensively" is the word Okrand uses.

The preceding grammatical sketch describes “proper” Klingon, that is, Klingon as it is taught in Klingon schools or to non-Klingons. In actual day-to-day use, however, spoken Klingon may vary somewhat from its “proper” form, usually by leaving some elements out. This abbreviated form of speaking, called Clipped Klingon by Klingon grammarians, is heard quite frequently in military contexts where quick—rather than eloquent—communication is deemed a virtue. Probably for similar reasons, Clipped Klingon is used quite extensively in all walks of Klingon life.

So Clipped Klingon is not eloquent, but it is common and used for quick communication. Don't offer Clipped Klingon when people ask for inscriptions, tattoos, or song lyrics, but do use it when speaking casually.
