Okrand made some pronunciation boners in CK. There's a time when he should
be saying "tera'ngan" where it sounds an awful lot like he's saying
"tera'nang" or something. I wouldn't sweat that. "ng" is the sound at the
end of English words like "thing". Make sure you don't pronounce a hard
"g" after it, that's all.
