This is the message that was first sent to the list:
There are names for the individual sounds of spoken Klingon.
These are not really the letters of an alphabet [though with the
phonetic transcription we use, the distinction is very fine]. They
follow a very simple pattern: consonants' names consist of the sound
followed by {ay}, and vowels' names consist of the sound preceded by
{'} and followed by {t}. The glottal stop sound is an exception,
being called {qaghwI'}, though this longish name is often eschewed in
favor of a simple grunt of the sound itself.
