Okrand himself, on the "Conversational Klingon" tape.

Probably not, but anyone with the tape and access to the proper equipment could probably do so easily. Allan Wechsler, the author of the article, also noted that Okrand pronounces "-rgh", the only Klingon final consonant cluster other than y' /j?/ and w' /w?/, with an approximant "r"; the normal Klingon "r" is an alveolar trill. -- There is / one art || John Cowan <jcowan@...> no more / no less || http://www.reutershealth.com to do / all things || http://www.ccil.org/~cowan with art- / lessness \\ -- Piet Hein
