Very nice, very accurate... (Veeeeery nice, charghwI') but not very chantable.
It needs to be more abrupt and more pronounced. And most importantly, it should
be (I'm pointing this out for the non-poets) ONE SYLLABLE! :)
Try "qagh:" it's short, it's harsh, and repeated it should have the effect you
want. What could be funnier than a dozens Klingons sitting around a diner and
spitting in unison?
