Exactly.  That was my problem.  It sounded weird to me because I have never 
heard Klingon spoken by another person.  I have no tapes, no nothing, just 
little old me saying words out loud to myself.  But after saying it out loud 
to myself over and over again, I hit an intonation where everything just 
clicked - something I may have figured out sooner had I any experience 
hearing Klingon.
