I would `Okrandize' this word as {mInnIHor} or similar. Sometimes apostrophe
in Paramount alien names seems to represent not a glottal stop but a short
weak vowel like Hebrew "vocal sh'wa". Compare the `Kahless' book's spelling
"p'tahk" for {petaQ}.
The minn'hor was also used under the yoke for hauling.

I remember this word as {s'tarahk}. By analogy with p'tahk / {petaQ} I would
`Okrandize' this word as {SItaraQ}.
