I don't have the original post handy, so I'm not exactly sure what the context
of this was, but I'd agree with DSTRADER that if there's only one >'< between
two vowels, it will belong to the second syllable at least 99% of the time.
There is only one known Klingon morpheme that begins with a vowel: >-oy<, the
suffix of endearment, and even here, Okrand has sanctioned the insertion of >'<
in the event that the previous morpheme ends with a vowel. I think DSTRADER has
more than "Nada. Pagh. Rien. El Zero." to back him up (and BTW -- what about
that capital P in "Pagh."?).
