As if English, or any other language were ever completed. My granddaughter is still inventing it.

All of this implies that the formation of the language is complete.
I do not agree. Even though the language (especially Klingon, of course) is not complete, the action of inventing or creating it, is complete.
As per definition of a language, Klingon is a complete language. It fullfills everything that is needed to be called a language. Using {-lI'} on the process of the creation sounds like it's not usable yet. In the year 1983, one could have said that Okrand is working on the language, combined with {-lI'}. But when he published TKD, he was done with it: {Hol chenmoHta'.} -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" https://tlhInganHol.com https://klingon.wiki/En/KlingonLanguage
