First, I want to say that I have a lot more respect for
someone actually seeking to learn the language than I do
for someone who just wants to name a ship and wants to get
really picky about the specs on that name. KLBC is for
those learning the language, not for gamers who want cool
syllables painted on the side of an imaginary craft.
That said, remember that ships are for battle and in
battle, language is often clipped. {quvqa'} works.
