Just trying to catch up on things.

In "Power Klingon", Two Century old wine is translated as <<cha' vatlh DIS ben 
HIq.>>  Which is literally "200 years ago wine".  The usage then means years 
old.  Following from this example then couldn't we say:

vagh ben ghaH puq'e'  (The child is five years old.)

loSmaH ben jIH  (I am fourty years old.)
