Is it intended to mean something? If so, *Qaw'* is a verb. I know TKD says
it's a noun, but there is an error. "Destruction" is *QIH*. If you intended
it to mean something like "What destroys?" it's correct. About the
pronunciation: according to TKD p17, stress is placed on the syllable with
the glottal stop, in most cases. And remember:
Say a *Q* like you're trying to force some phlegm out of your throat.
Say a *q* like a slight click.
I'll make a recording for you, too. Go to:

BTW: I'm changing my alias. I found out what my terran name means, so I'm
using it's translation.
