I rememebred to listen to my CK. It's definitely two voices, the first a
female one, which really does sound like "qu'vatlh", probably an attampt at
Qu'vatlh. The end othat seems to overlap the next voice, which sounds like
"*mach maH'egh", with lots of possibility for error in most of the
consonants. I do hear a stop before the "-egh". "vaj maHegh"? Maybe.
"vaj baH'egh"? Possibly, tho it doesn't make sense. I dunno...
