TKD section 3.3.2
"...the lack of a
specific suffix for plural does not always indicate that the noun
is singular. In Klingon, a noun without a plural suffix may still
refer to more than one entity.
...
Under certain circumstances, the only way to know wheth-
er the noun refers to one or more than one entity is by
context."
