Huh. Relearn something old every day.
I shall update my personal dictionary file accordingly.

Younger speakers also have a slight tendency to change the
pronunciation of the vowel "a" in nonstressed syllables to something
that sounds a bit like the "u" in Federation Standard "but". If this
sound is transcribed with the Symbol "U", a word like "qaleghpu'" ("I
have seen you") might sound more like "qUleghpu'". This particular
phonological inclination seems particularly bothersome to older
Klingons and is generally considered an error worthy of correction.
Students who speak this way are customarily reprimanded,
