What has the name "Pok" got to do with it?  He is certainly mispronouncing
{Qa'Hom}.  From using both the Language Lab and the Immersion Studies, I get
the distinct impression that the Immersion Studies was filmed before Robert
O'Reilly's voice was recorded for the Language Lab.  If true, it would
explain why his pronounciation is so difficult to understand in the opening
to the Immersion Studies, and so good in the Language Lab (aside from the
fact that he has to say a lot more during the prologue to the Immersion
Studies).  Does anyone have any information on this?  Which was recorded
first?
