[Tlhingan-hol] ulesses Ha'DIbaH

[lojmIt tI'wI' nuv]

Have we seen {'op} or {Hoch} combined with other nouns as if they were number words in canon? {'opben} jumped out at me when I saw it here. Likely I just missed the canon when it was shared.

This happens in two contexts: with number-forming elements - for instance, for "two hundred" we've seen both {cha'vatlh} (BoP) and {cha' vatlh} (MSN Newsgroup 12 December 1996) - and with words meaning "X time period ago" and "X time period from now". We have examples with spaces - e.g. {chorgh ben} (Monopoly) - and examples without - e.g. {wa'leS} and {cha'leS} (MSN Newsgroup 29 June 1997). But whether or not you do this in your own Klingon is a stylistic choice that you are free to make on your own.
