I was making the point that TKD says when the word {tu'lu'}, with "a 
third-person singular subject pronoun (0)" is used, you get the "there 
is/there are" meaning.  Not just "there is," but both of them.  I think it's 
likely that {tu'lu'} is just stuck at the end of such a sentence fragment, and 
that it must always looks the same.

Still, it IS possible to independently construct {lutu'lu'}.  I wonder if it's 
used by Klingons?
