In any event, I suspect that punctuation might be less standardized in Klingon than it is in English, and therefore be used mainly for the sake of clarity and disambiguation.
When writing a single, simple sentence, as is often the case in TKD, punctuation might not be considered very important, and might even be completely optional.
When writing poetry, punctuation might follow (or boldly subvert!) the standards of the form one is using.
We're not talking about punctuation in {pIqaD}, of which we have examples in the SkyBox cards. We're talking about punctuation in the Latin transcription, which is a convention only. The convention established in canon for regular text (as opposed to poetry, or when dissecting a sentence for grammatical exposition) is to use commas, periods, and question marks as appropriate. -- De'vID
