Or never intended it in the first place. The explanation of {tu'lu'} in 
TKD is vague enough to leave open the possibility that Klingons use it 
as a fixed phrase.

At the risk of sounding pedantic, an accusation flung in my direction 
many times on this list, I'll say that it's usually someone on this list 
who makes this claim. I don't think I've ever heard Okrand claim that 
everything he says in or about Klingon is correct. Quite the opposite: 
sometimes, like in paq'batlh, he admits he may have made mistakes that 
have nothing to do with reflecting the way Klingons speak.
