>It's not so useless. The first thing that I was thinking was  "Great! Now 
>when do we get a word for 'uvula'?"

mujang ghunchu'wI', ja':
>qatlh mu'vetlh DaneH?  tlhIngan Hol jatlhlu'meH 'utbe'bej uvula.

chaq 'utbe' mu' *uvula*'e', 'ach tlhIngan Hol jatlhlu'meH 'utqu' *uvula*. 
/q/ /Q/ je bIHbej *uvular consonant*mey'e'; *velar consonant*mey bIHbe'. 
*TKD*Daq De'vam tu'lu' je:

"...the tongue reaches for or touches the uvula (the fleshy blob that 
dangles down from the back of the roof of the mouth), so articulating q 
approximates the sound of choking." (TKD 1.1)

"... It (Q) is an overdone Klingon q. It is identical to q except that it is 
very guttural and raspy and strongly articulated, somewhat like a blend of 
Klingon q and H." (TKD 1.1)

'ach *uvula* mughmeH mu' tu'be'lu'chugh, qay'be'bej je.
