I had <DaH> taking the place of "Z" in the song.
While Klingon & English both have 26 characters, w is 3 syllables and ' is 2.

That doesn't seem to match the syllable count of the English version (7
syllables: "Now I know my ABCs"), but it would make more sense to me as
DaH 'at bay chay je vISov
This has seven syllables and doesn't have the superfluous "my" or the
English plural (ABCs).
Maybe the scansion is messed up because I took it out of context, but that
doesn't effect the other points.
