In TKD section 1.1:
"Those few Klingons who pronounce {b} as {m} would say Klingon {baH} <fire (a 
torpedo)> and {maH} <we> the same way, and have to memorize which word is 
spelled which way."

This tells me that the system of writing tells the reader how a word is 
pronounced.  
Writing systems like hieroglyphics, etc does not tell the reader how to 
pronounce the words.  Such a system would require that we memorize each word 
anyways.
