That's a very good observation, and it's more important than what most 
people would believe it to be.

Indeed, I guess it's simply the actor who speaks a bit differently than 
others. Perhabs it was even done intentional, because Azetbur was sad?
Maybe it's because she's a woman. I don't know, compare to Valkris or 
Uhura (although she's not klingon, so maybe she doesn't count)

Anyhow, I love showing this scene to my students because it makes clear 
that one can speak klingon in a very natural way, as opposed to what 
many people believe is that you need to shout and bark klingon all the time.

Klingon can be spoken like a natural language, and Azetbur has proven 
this quite well in that scene.
