There isn't any "r" in {Qo'noS}, but an ear unaccustomed to a sound can misinterpret what it hears. At qep'a' vaghDIch, an apparently drunk hotel guest wandered into the meeting room one evening and started asking questions (not all of which were appropriate). He heard Qov's name and tried to repeat it, saying carefully and distinctly "crove".
