>Klingon is the only language that i know of that dosn't conjugate "to have."

Actually, it does:

   nIn 'ar wIghaj
   How much fuel do we have (left)? PK

   pIch vIghajbe'
   It's not my fault. TKD

   De' pegh vIghaj
   I have secret information. PK

   cha'maH cha' joQDu' ghaj qama'
   The prisoner has twenty-two ribs. KGT

   quv lughaj Archer HoD beqDaj je.
   Captain Archer and his crew are honorable people. (ENT "The Augments")

{Hutlh} "lack, be without" may also be translated "to not have" and is 
likewise conjugated:

   butlh DaHutlh
   You lack dirt under your fingernails. TKW

   wa' joQ Hutlh ghaH
   He/she lacks one rib. KGT

   DarSeqmey DaHutlh
   You lack money (lit. "You lack darseks"). KGT

   tera' poH jaj wa', jar wa', jaj loSDIch, DIS wa'-Hut-Hut-chorgh: 
HovpoHvetlh latlh nab yIHutlh
   Save this Stardate: Sunday, January 4, 1998. STX

Perhaps you were thinking of something else?
