ghunchu'wI':
: Klingon sounds *were* originally written with IPA. Early on, however,
: Okrand changed to the familiar Romanized transcription in order for the
: actors to be able to read it without too much study.
As well as for the ST3 production staff to be able to write and print up
scripts with the standard English typewriter (or computer) keyboard -
without need of any special diacritics.
