batlh cholughmoHpu'.  (I stand corrected.)  For some reason I didn't have 
that one listed with the other {tu'lu'} examples, although it actually 
comes from the example toasts in "Power Klingon".

Interesting, that this example follows the usual order {-be'lu'}.  This 
really shows how irregular {tu'lu'} can be -- unless you want to analyze it 
as part of the odd toasting syntax.

The TKW {-lu'be'} example is still unique, however.
