KLBC: ' and other stuff



I understand that ' at the end of a word represents a glottal stop.
What is its function at the beginning of a word, and how does it
affect pronunciation?

TKD 3.3.2 explains that some nouns can be plural even without {pu').
The examples then use {pu'}!  What's worse, the suffix is affixed to
the verb!  If this is not a mistake, then {Holvam Qatlhlaw'}.

Is it acceptable to say {lu'be'} to mean "I'd rather not"?
