Time is indicated in Klingon by using nouns such as {ben}, {nem},
{wa'Hu'}, but there seems no indication in the canon whether these
nouns can have suffixes in this usage. For example, can we say:
wa'maH benHey jo' chenmoHlu'.
Apparently ten years ago the machinery is built.
or, say, when spoken by some time traveller:
vagh SanID benvo' jIjaH.
I came from five thousand yeras ago.
