I did speculate that the {lu-} prefix was the whom of Klingon: often omitted
without being missed where strict grammar would require it, almost always
left off {tu'lu'}. I asked MO about this at qep'a' and his answer was
something like "more or less. That is addressed in KGT." (That was his
answer to most things. Very frustrating. I think he'll time all future
book releases around qep'a'. :)
