Actually, it does:

nIn 'ar wIghaj
How much fuel do we have (left)? PK

pIch vIghajbe'
It's not my fault. TKD

De' pegh vIghaj
I have secret information. PK

cha'maH cha' joQDu' ghaj qama'
The prisoner has twenty-two ribs. KGT

quv lughaj Archer HoD beqDaj je.
Captain Archer and his crew are honorable people. (ENT "The Augments")

{Hutlh} "lack, be without" may also be translated "to not have" and is 
likewise conjugated:

butlh DaHutlh
You lack dirt under your fingernails. TKW

wa' joQ Hutlh ghaH
He/she lacks one rib. KGT

DarSeqmey DaHutlh
You lack money (lit. "You lack darseks"). KGT

tera' poH jaj wa', jar wa', jaj loSDIch, DIS wa'-Hut-Hut-chorgh: 
HovpoHvetlh latlh nab yIHutlh
Save this Stardate: Sunday, January 4, 1998. STX

Perhaps you were thinking of something else?

I translate lack as a seperate word with a related meaning. And i really dont' consider -be' and -Qo' or any other verb suffixes as conjugation.
