I don't believe that we've had an official spelling of this, but when
charghwI' heard this word on Conversational Klingon, he heard {waH}. I simply
cannot agree with that. I most definitely hear {wagh}.
The problem was exacerbated when in HolQeD 1:4 "Conversational Klingon
Explored," the new vocabulary referred to lists "be expensive" as {wasH}.
If anyone disagrees with me about Okrand pronouncing {wagh}, get on the Talker
site with me, if you can, and we'll compare! :)
