ghel qeS: >1. Is tlh suppossed to sound like "kl"? It's *supposed* to sound a lot like the beginning of a "t" followed by a whispered "l", with the air escaping around the sides of the tongue instead of the front. Since this sound is not in the experience of most speakers of English, it is often misheard as a "kl" by casual listeners. -- ghunchu'wI'
