I agree with TKD, and therefore do agree with SuStel.
As we have read somewhere else in a parallel discussion, it seems that
most of us have better knowledge of Klingon Grammar than Okrand does. If
he makes a mistake once in a while, I would not always take that as
being a new rule, especially as it contradicts the existing rules. I
would only accept that, when he definitely explains a new rule, like he
did with toasts or dialects.
And besides of that, every langauge may have strange exceptions, or
"bad" examples. Even the best teacher or professor I had had, did big
mistakes in his lessons. Nobody is perfect.

That seems very obvious to me. In my opinion.
