<div dir="ltr">You're right of course, but do any names rendered in canon violate Klingon's phonological rules?<div>For instance, I've never seen "Spock" in Klingon. Would it be {?Spoq} or would a vowel be needed: {?'eSpoq}, {?Supoq} or some such? I notice {DoyIchlan} instead of {*Doychlan} or {*DoychlanD}, but also {Denmargh} rather than {*Denmarq}. {Denmargh} strongly supports that {qIrq} is a one-time violation of Klingon phonology.</div>

Do they ever end in *{-rq}? I'm aware of only one example, {qIrq}, 'ej<br>
nov pong 'oHba'.<br>
