Looks good except for that apostrophe (glottal stop). There are only
three
consonant clusters (strings of consonants) that a canonical Klingon
syllable
or word ever ends with: y', w', and rgh. (On this list, "canon" in
the
strict sense is limited to material originating with Marc Okrand,
mostly TKD
and the two tapes.) So try lISbet or lISbetlh ("tlh" sounds as
much like
the "th" of "Elizabeth" as "t" does). In either case the accent
would
go on the last syllable (TKD p.17, assuming that names are nouns).
