In reference to the one month of which we may "know" the name:
ghItlh tevram
>I believe it's spelled Maktag in the script. It is. Stardate 43205.
I have just viewed "New Ground" again. Well might the name of the
month of Alexander's birth have been spelled "Maktag" in the script, but
Bonsall pronounced it "Maktak," (mack-tack) that is, both syllable-final
consonants were voiceless velar stops, /k/, and both vowels were low front
vowels, like the way Feds pronounce "Kang."
This pronunciation would imply a tlhIngan spelling of <meqteq>.
