Personally, I don't put a glottal stop when transliterating
non-Klingon names--that way the word is obviously foreign to the
Klingon eye. Kinda the way Czechoslovakia looks in English.
Another rule of thumb I use is stress. In Klingon nouns, stress tends
to fall on syllables with glottal stops. So Nilo (pronounced NI-lo)
becomes nIylo, while nIylo' would suggest something like niLO.
But I like to overanalyze everything. Mostly, I think it's just a
matter of taste.
