I agree somehow with both of you:
lojmIt is right that both {tu'lu'be'} and {tu'be'lu'} are leagl
constructions with slightly different meanings.
On the other hand, the "expression" {tu'lu'} is frequently also used
with the wrong prefix, because grammatically spoken, it needs the
lu-prefix when dealing with plural things, but it's omitted very often:
KGT:
cha'maH cha' joQDu' tu'lu'.
TKD:
puqpu' tu'lu'.
TKD:
naDev tlhInganpu' tu'lu'.
This makes it seem that klingons indeed regard {tu'lu'} as a standlaone
expression, even though it really is just a standard sentence.
I think to remember that this has been explained somewhere by Okrand...
HolQeD maybe?
