to make the name "Iraq" fit klingon orthography, an apostrophe must be
appended to the beginning so that the name begins with a consonant. i find it a
curious coincidence that the arabic (i.e., native) spelling of "Iraq" also begins
with a consonant ('ayn', a pharyngeal stop). and, of course, the 'i' has to
be capitalized. :-)
