Not to be nitpicky too ;-) but taking this correctly, the english 
translation should be "May there be NO single tribble in your coordinates"

more than one tribble would need the lu-prefix: {lutu'be'lu'jaj}

But yes, Marc Okrand has explained in KGT 168-172 that this suffix is 
sometimes omitted, perhaps this is one of these cases ;-)
