So you are suggesting pIDSa' or pItlha' ?  I'm sure either would work.  To me pIDja' just sounds phonetically closest.  But that's just me.

  Some speakers voice the /ts/ as /pi:dz@/ and for those who insist on 
transcribing words using Okrand's system, you could use /DS/. DloraH once 
transcribed Jadzia as *{jeDSIy'a}.

But FWIW we do have a example from canon: The Klingon name {matlh} was 
transcribed by "Federation Standard" speakers as Maltz. (Granted, Klingon 
{tlh} is also heard as /th/: e.g. {qolotlh} Koloth.) Also, the KLI's "The 
Klingon Hamlet" rendered Rosencrantz as *{roSenQatlh}. So there's 
precedent of a sort.
