I was pretty excited yesterday to realize that I could successfully
pronounce the name Eyjafjallajökull by thinking of it as tlhIngan
"words" spelled something like this:

'ey 'av yatlh'a' yer qutlh

The glottal stops throw the pronounciation off somewhat, but I
couldn't bring myself to omit them and create nonsense syllables...

It was interesting to discover that the Icelandic double L is
apparently the same as tlhIngan {tlh}
