No, page 77.  The front of the DICTIONARY, as opposed to the front of
"The Klingon Dictionary".  That's where Klingon alphabetical order is
defined:  [a b ch D e gh H j l m n ng o p q Q r S t tlh u v w y z ']

TKD page 11:

  There is a native writing system for Klingon (called {pIqaD))
  which seems to be well suited to the various dialects.  This
  writing system is not yet well understood and is, therefore,
  not used in this dictionary.  Instead, a transcription system
  based on the English alphabet has been devised...

Okrand said it. :-)
