[tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: naw'wat

[mayqel qunenoS]

Yes ! This word obviously comes from the "now what".

However, the phonology of this word continues to confuse me. Since the
glottal stop is a valid self-standing letter on its own, then this word
obviously violates the cvc-cvc klingon word structure.
