Disclaimer:  Marc Okrand is the creator and the true authority of the Klingon 
language.  Consult The Klingon Dictionary grammar section diligently, MO 
wrote it.  I post these "tips" one at a time only as an aide to learning 
Klingon.

Today we see how to use numbers in Klingon.

The number comes right in front of the noun.  Examples:  wa' loD = one man; 
cha' be'pu' = two women; wej targhmey = three dogs*; loS naQmey = four 
sticks; vagh yaSpu' = five officers; jav jaghpu' = six enemies; Soch puqpu' = 
seven children; chorgh paqmey = eight books; Hut mIl'oDmey = nine sabre 
bears; wa'maH nItlhpachDu' = ten fingernails; HutmaH Hut tlhInganpu' = 99 
Klingons.
