Re: Klingon Phonetics
I acknowledge you as the canon master of the Vulcans!

T'Lod:
: Sorry to disappoint you, 'ach loD jIH.
: Most Vulcan females names don't customarily have an L after the T', they
: usually have a P. [T'Pring and T'Pau are examples]
Not entirely true. Here are some canonical Vulcan T' names from my notes
referring to women from the movies, episodes and authorized novelizations
thereof. You'll notice that the first two *do* have an L after the T',
though I admit the majority have P:
T'Lar high priestess who performs the fal-tor-pan on Spock at
Mount Seleya [ST3].
T'Lara Starfleet admiral presiding at Worf's extradition hearing
[DS9 "Rules of Engagement"]
T'meni Tuvok's mother. [VOY "Hunters"]
T'meni Tuvok's granddaughter. [VOY "Hunters"]
T'Paal "Romulan" agent Tallera's real Vulcan name [TNG "Gambit"]
T'Pan expert in subspace morphology, she was director of the Vulcan
Science Academy [TNG "Suspicions"]
T'Para ancient Vulcan teacher in Raal according to "Falor's
Journey", a portion of which Tuvok sang [VOY: (episode title)]
T'Pau high-ranking dignitary and elder of Sarek's House
[TOS "Amok Time"]
T'Pel Spock's aunt, Sarek's sister [TAS: (episode title?)]
T'Pel honored Vulcan "ambassador" who was actually a Romulan deep
cover agent (Subcmdr Selok) ["Data's Day"]
T'Pel Tuvok's wife [seen in VOY "Bliss"]
T'Penna operatic star, performed opposite Soral [VOY "The Swarm"]
T'plana-Hath matron of Vulcan philosophy who said "Logic is the
cement of our civilization with which we ascend from chaos using
reason as our guide." Spock successfully identified the quote during
a memory test in 2286 at Mount Seleya. [ST4]
T'Pring Spock's betrothed [TOS "Amok Time"]
T'Sai chief kolinahr High Master at Gol [ST:TMP (name from script or
novelization?)]
T'Shanik one of three candidates who competed with Wesley Crusher
for a single opening to Starfleet Academy at Relva VII in 2364. A
female from Vulcana Regar, she was a runner-up in the competition.
[TNG "Coming of Age"]
.. here are names referring to ships, which may have been named after
famous women (e.g. the T'Pau):
T'Kumbra Federation Nebula-class starship under the command of
Capt. Solok [DS9 "Take Me Out to the Holosuite"]
T'Pau in drydock at the Qualor II before it was stolen by Romulan agents
[TNG "Unification"]
T'Vran a Vulcan science vessel [DS9 "Vortex"]
.. and here is one that may refer to an ancient Vulcan goddess or priestess:
T'Karath Sanctuary in caverns on Vulcan. By the 24th century it had been
"abandoned for centuries." [TNG "Gambit II"]
So you can see why I was confused.
