I pronounce it the same way no matter where in the word it is. Unvoiced.
Fricative. With two streams of air running out the sides of my tongue,
so that my lower lip can feel it. I've never had a particular problem
putting it at the end of a word.
Not affricate; that is, with no stopped onset? The choice of "tlh" as
the orthography suggested an affricate to me, as does the fact that
non-Klingons tend to hear this as "kl". If this were a pure fricative,
wouldn't Okrand have used "lh" in the orthography? (But more thoughts
on the orthography later.)
