Re: [Tlhingan-hol] nalqaD mung
You can listen to many of the descriptions on qurgh's website, hol.kag.org
For example, if you search for nalqaD, you'll first get to hear Gowron say it, and you can also listen to Okrand's comments in the infobox on the right.
You can get to quite a few of these by selecting "Media" in the topbar.
