No kidding. But as I stated in my post, the complete citation is from the
ST: Continuum site on MSN (specifically the Linguistic Studies area of the
Klingon Compendium) so I'd suggest you send your comments there where they
might do some good. [...]
Okrand supplies them with Klingon vocabulary plus the one word English
gloss and records the associated DAT sound file. [...] Does anyone know
whether the phonetics (which are intended for fans, not linguists) are
also supplied by Okrand or is someone at STC just transcribing what they
think they hear?

Alas, I don't have access to MSN; and you didn't give an email address,
so I can't direct my comments to them directly. Some list subscriber who
*does* get MSN can, perhaps, comment to its administrators. You, perhaps?
HeghDI' SuvwI'pu' Hagh qotpu' neH. I didn't mean to belittle your understanding
of Klingon phonetics. You presented the entire citation with attribution but
without comment, and I incorrectly inferred that the phonetics were your
transcription from an audio presentation.
