TKD 70:  {'ar} "how many? how much?" follows the noun to which it refers. It can never follow a noun with a plural suffix.

As used in canon:
 
Haw'pu' yaS 'ar 
How many officers fled? TKD

nIn 'ar wIghaj 
How much fuel do we have (left)? TKD & CK

nIn 'ar ghaj [clipped] 
How much fuel do we have? PK

Huch 'ar DaneH? 
How much money do you want? TKD

Dochvetlh DIlmeH Huch 'ar DaneH 
How much do you want for that? TKD

mughoS 'avwI' 'ar 
How many guards are coming? CK

Any new examples from the {paq'batlh}?
