We've discussed this in the past. There are a couple of possible
explanations. One is that it's a fixed expression: just add tu'lu' to
mean "there is/are." Another is that it's an example of the phenomenon
described in KGT: "Common Errors: The Case of lu-."
I have a vague notion that lutu'lu' has appeared somewhere, but it's not
in TKD or KGT, the only materials I have handy and searchable right now.
