Not to my knowledge.
De'wI' ghom'a'Daq De' vIlegh, 'ach mu'meyvetlh qon 'Iv?
I've seen data on the internet, but who wrote those words?

> 'ar tlhIngan mu'mey tu'lu'a'?
'ar goes after the noun to which it refers, and that noun does not use a
plural suffix, TKD p70.
The word 'ar turns the sentence into a question; the answer being a number.
The verb suffix -'a' turns the sentence into a yes/no question.
tlhIngan mu'mey lutu'lu''a'? - Are there klingon words?
tlhIngan mu' 'ar tu'lu'? - How many klingon words are there?
This is actually a difficult question to answer. It depends on how you want
to count the words. The word for "like" is actually the word "dislike" with
a suffix attached; so do you count it as a separate word? How does one
count the effects of so many suffixes. Are both "man" and "boy" counted?
There are over a few thousand words.
