Big Enterprise

Recently, while watching Star Trek 5, I came across an interesting thing said by 
the Klingon captain of that movie (can't remember the name...was it torgh?).  
His first officer mentions the Enterprise to him, and he says what sounded like: 
{enterpray'a'} (captions: "Enterprise?").  Getting to the point, my question is: 
I thought the interrogative verb suffix {-'a'} could not be used on nouns, and 
he certainly didn't mean the augmentative noun suffix {-'a'} for big 
Enterprise...did Okrand ever explain this?  Or was it just a mistake?
