Thanks for this wonderful explanation. I just like to add two things:

a) You can easily describe {Q} in Klingon as {q} + {H}.

b) When teaching the sound to German students, I usually really say that 
it's the same as KR, because in most German dialects, this is really 
very identical to the Q-sound. I usually need to mention that there are 
regions which do speak "K+R" seperately, so that doesn't count in that case.
