As SuStel has pointed out, we don't know. The fact that only the plural form
is in the dictionary hints to me that there might be no singular form, but
until we get a clarification, we can't be sure.
>If not, how to refer to such a word? {chuvbogh mu'}? {chuvmey mu'}?
I wouldn't have a problem with {chuvmey mu'}; if you say that, it's clear
that you're talking about the grammatical category, so it's unambiguous.
{chuvmey mu' 'oH mu' {tlhIH}'e'}
Savan.
