lurDech vIquvmoHmeH, vIjatlhtaHvIS, <n> <nn> je vIpImmoH.

jIHvaD pImqu' je "Summers" <SammarSe'> je.
pImbe' "Summers" "Sa'merIS" je.
to me, "Gennie" has a short "n" and a short "i", whereas
{jennIy} has both long; as the last syllable would usually
get the stress, I might say {je'nI}, although it's possible
a Klingon will hear "Gennie" with a "normal" stress on the
{nI}
{SammarSe'} puts the stress on a syllable that isn't even
there in "Summers", and I don't hear an {a} in "-mer";
(I hear a Schwa, which Okrand seems to transcribe with {I}
(right?), which he also uses to fill consonant clusters with
vowels, so one might argue for {Sa'mIrIS})
