I always took the suffix -Du' to pluralise intelligent beings body parts
ie. those beings who's pluraliser is -pu'
eg. tlhIngan nachDu'
When it came to animals and suchlike I pluralised with -mey as if they
were things.
In the case of DIr as leather I would use DIrmey from the time it was
taken from the animal's back to being put on the Klingon's back.
However if I was talking about Klingon skins I would use DIrDu'
I'm sorry if this offends any animal lovers but it's always been my
opinion.
Am I right?
