Yeah, I think we mentioned this when talking about lutu'be'lu' at the
qep'a'. It's reasonable that it's a "fixed" form, or to put it another way
an intrusion of Clipped Klingon into just about all registers of Klingon
use. Still, I don't think anyone can claim that lutu'lu' is wrong, if you
want to be nitpicky. But I suppose that I shouldn't say that "tu'lu'" is
wrong for plurals either.
