Not to be nitpicky too ;-) but taking this correctly, the english
translation should be "May there be NO single tribble in your coordinates"
more than one tribble would need the lu-prefix: {lutu'be'lu'jaj}
But yes, Marc Okrand has explained in KGT 168-172 that this suffix is
sometimes omitted, perhaps this is one of these cases ;-)
