I don't believe that we've had an official spelling of this, but when 
charghwI' heard this word on Conversational Klingon, he heard {waH}.  I simply 
cannot agree with that.  I most definitely hear {wagh}.

The problem was exacerbated when in HolQeD 1:4 "Conversational Klingon 
Explored," the new vocabulary referred to lists "be expensive" as {wasH}.

If anyone disagrees with me about Okrand pronouncing {wagh}, get on the Talker 
site with me, if you can, and we'll compare!  :)
