Re: Cannon for Multiple Consonants



ghItlh Sa' qIQwI':
>> -y' and -w' are also consonant clusters.

> w = diphthong forming u

I would truly like that to be true. Best example: Try spelling "Ice Cream"
using the Klingon alphabet:

'ayS QIym

'Twould be good if y were a dipthong, but most people unfortunately consider
it a vowel, which renders the above spelling illegal [unless MO says otherwise]

Qapla'
