How about "MHMAKHERES OF UGHLZY KHONHLZANGHS KLZUBB" (capitals are mandatory)
or "MUKK" for short.
MH = vls labial nasal, KH = vls velar fricative, GH = voiced velar fricative,
LZ = vls lateral fricative, NH = vls alveolar nasal, NGH = vls velar nasal.

Klingon actually has very few consonant clusters, really only rgh, w', y',
and then only syllable-final. Things like "tlh" (aspirated lateral
fricative) are single consonants.
