   First we need to know how bajor is pronounced in Bajoran! And then we
look how klingons would pronounce it. On the Germen TV show, Bajor is
pronounced *bayor*. We cannot transliterate something that has already been
transliterated.
   "E" is pronounced {I} in english, german "E" is pronounced {e} in german,
sounds almost like english "A", which is in german {a}, but that is the
english "R", which is in German pronounced {'er} (and that can almost sound
like te english "A", which is...)
   (okay, you need a bit of fantasy for this, but you see laguages are weird
:-)
