It would be very weird, at this point, to get any more (let's say, "modern {ta' Hol}") suffixes, considering the volume of canon we have. What are the chances that a commonplace suffix would fail to appear in important Klingon works such as {paq'batlh} and {Hamlet}?
Yes, true, but on the other hand - think of how many words were "discovered" after the translation of Hamlet!
They didn't even have a word for "sun" :-)
SorHa'chu' neH SeQpIr. jul {mu'} Sovba'. In fact, SeQpIr's use of the word "sun" in the name of his famous play {romyo' julyet je} is one of the clearer signs of Federation forgery. The line "Juliet is the sun" is a pun in the original Klingon which is lacking in the inferior Federation reproduction. -- De'vID
