For the benefit of us without a clue, what do you mean?

I beg to differ. I have no problem pronouncing {puq oy} with a small pause
before the second syllable, and no stop (glottal or otherwise) at its start.
When I remove the pause, I can pronounce it either {pu-qoy} or {puq-oy}. I
think {pu-qoy} sounds completely wrong.
>Klingon has morphology :)
Based on my rejection of your example, I must say it doesn't. Except I
still don't know what you mean, so I don't know what *I* mean. What *DO* I
mean?
