Unlikely; Klingon never begins a word with a consonant cluster. Since when
do the Paramount actors or writers know how to pronounce or produce Klingon
though? And after all, we have "Qugh" -> Kruge; the "gh" sound is
certainly quite rhotic. I could easily believe ghIlqa' got pronounced
Grilka. Assuming, of course, that the writers even thought about it, which
is very unlikely.
