>Suck would be sook if said with a klingon accent to english speakers...

Again, you're depending upon the written language for that. Okrand's puns 
tend to follow pronunciation (in *both* languages) and the spoken language, 
not orthography. The Klingon pronunciation of "suck" would be something 
approximating {Saq}.
