I quite agree, but I could find only one example of a noun suffix used with {-Dich}:
qep'a' wejDIchDaq jatlhtaH tlhIngan Hol HaDwI'pu'.
[untranslated] (st.klingon 11/1996?)
To which SuStel commented some time later (do you remember the date?):
"... in answering my letter about {qep'a' wejDIch}, Marc Okrand used the phrase {qep'a' wejDIchDaq}. Now, it could be considered just a name, but it may also be possible that noun suffixes can go to the ordinal number."
