(aha!
the system you invented really resembles the system i invented.
likely this strategy superior symbols, but one has to practise it in
order to use it perfectly.
by accident as one remembers an additional system, often one can use
*not to be right* symbol.
many computer systems' names deny the symbol "'".
then i use 'z' or '7' in order to exchange "'".
always when i go on using the klingon language i use '7'.
ready, how do you use these symbols?
it's beautiful and accurate?)
<'> vilo'.
(i use "'".)
<'>vaD 'IHbe' <7> <z> je.
("7" and "z" aren't beatiful for "'")
but it confuses me that that "q" becomes "k" and "Q" becomes "q".
then you could have changed "H" to "h" and modify "ch", "tlh" and
"gh" in order to avoid confusions.
and i think that the "Q" is more strange than a "q" (is it?), so one
should use a more strange letter for "Q" than for "q". in fact, the
letter "k" in english is less often than "q".
in italian you often use "'" in order to describe the accent of the last vowel:
felicità -> felicita'
btw: i wouldn't use the shift key in the beginning of a klingon
frase. it was the very sence of it not to use it, right?

(i prefer the usual system in order to respect *lurDegh*.
i have to change from time to time the system in order to be special
to some task, but it doesn't matter.)
did i understand this? hm...
i'd also respect the MO-system unless one finds a perfect solution
for all (which won't occur).
