These are all explained on page 25 of the TKD.  -raj/-ra' is the plural
form.  There is no possessive for "its", use the noun-noun construction
instead.  And the third person possessive makes no distinction between
beings and things.

Answered on pages 21-24 of the TKD.  Do you not own a copy of the Klingon
Dictionary?  You should acquire one.
