qatlho'. On both counts. A type 7 suffix on a SAO construction is a mistake 
I have made before; also a mistake I have made before is not carrying my 
Klingon dictionaries with me. I just had one of those moments where I 
thought "Hey, I haven't seen that one before".

I believe you. I've never used <<-luH>> myself; there's got to be a reason 
why <<-laH>> and <<-lu'>> are in the same class, even if we don't know the 
precise reason. Okrand *does* say it is used (but bad grammar) in KGT; I 
shouldn't have said "good", but "understandable" (if my Klingon sentence 
above is <<pabna'>> in and of itself).

qavan.
