(regarding {ghItlh}... yes, the Dictionary has arrived) ;-)

to quote from the KLI site:

gh: A gargled sound, at the back of the throat. Like the Klingon H, only
voiced. It's very much like the French gargled "r."

so it is somewhere inbetween a hard Dutch [g] and a mispronounced Dutch [r].
"mispronounced" because the official Dutch pronounciation is like the
Klingon [r], and not down in the throat ;-)
