Se'noj:
>neH cha' DeQmeywIj...
TKD 5.4. Adverbials:
-----------
Also unlike the other adverbials, {neH} can follow a noun. In such cases, it means "only, alone."
{yaS neH} "only the officer, the officer alone"
{jonta' neH} "only the engine"
-----------
so: ---> {cha' DeQmeywIj neH}
and
TKD 5.2. Numbers:
-----------
The plural suffixes ({-pu', -mey}) are not necessary when a number is used.

because
TKD 3.3.2. Type 2: Number:
-----------
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. The plurality is indicated by a pronoun, whether a verb prefix (see section 4.1) or a full word
(section 5.1), or by context.

---> {cha' DeQwIj neH}
