Well, you have all the right letters, but the apostrophe-looking character
is as important to Klingon as, say, the letter 'e' is to English. It isn't
moved around lightly. Neither is capitalization trifled with since it, too,
conveys information bout the word you intend to use. For example, the
letter q and the letter Q are to different sounds in Klingon
The correct spelling is
Qapla'
It's great that you're coming into our little family and I hope you continue
to learn more and more Klingon.
