[Can anyone think of a better way to say “at least 5,000”?]
I know that the canonical example of {rav} and {'aqroS} to specify a range used them both, but I would be extremely surprised if {rav} couldn't be used on its own like this for "at least" (and correspondingly {'aqroS} for "at most"). I suppose if you wanted to adhere to strict canon usage, you could do {rav vaghSaD yuQ 'aqroS 'ejyaH yuQ}.
There are canon examples of {rav} being used by itself to indicate a minimum: {Hung buv rav: patlh Hut} "Classified Level 9 and Above" (Bird of Prey poster) {nen rav: chorgh ben} "Ages 8 to adult" (Klingon Monopoly) -- De'vID
