License plates.

After using klingon for a while we know if an [h] should be [h] or [H].
The only problem would be with Q/q.  Maybe use Q/K instead.

Hope they can figure it out by context.  it's usually not to bad...
there are words like  be' law' chu'  which don't have 
a counterpart  be law chu.
Some words like  ta  and  ta'  are different enough in meaning.
What to do when you get to words like  paw  and  paw'  I don't know...recast?
Maybe use an used character, like x or z.   ??

A KLINGON could figure it out    ;P
