[tlhIngan Hol] mu' chu': 'aS 'IDnar pIn'a' Dun

[Will Martin]

I’m totally with Okrand on {‘aS} being preferable to {‘oS} to transliterate “Oz”, in terms of vowel sound, but I wonder about transliteration of the English “Z” into Klingon. 

Logically, we can deduce that {S} is the closest sound in Klingon to the English “Z", but I wonder if the vocalization of the “Z” would bother them enough that they’d simulate it with some vocalized sound next to it, like {‘aghSe’}.

That actually sounds closer to “Oz” to my ear than {‘aS}.
