... and now I am confused. I learned that plural ending is optional in Klingon... So I would expect it would be used basically for emphasis or at least disambiguation, in common usage. And {tlhIngan maH} is not ambiguous, as {maH} clearly indicates that the subject is plural. On the other hand, I noticed the Duolingo course, especially, always uses plural suffixes.

I always understood tlhIngan maH, as "we are klingon" i.e. members of the klingon species, instead of "we are klingons", as in "klingon individuals".
