Interesting! Most syllables with a CVCC pattern are transliterated as
CV'CIC:
{Do'rIn} "(Michael) Dorn"
{wo'rIv} "Worf"
{wa'lIS} "(Gwynyth) Walsh"
{(ro)be'rIt} "(Ro)bert (O'Reilly)"
Presumably, the glottal stop is there to move the stress to the previous
syllable, so that the {I} sound separating the consonant cluster will be
minimized. In this case, there's no glottal stop, so the stress would be
expected to be on the "consonant cluster" syllable.

{loScha'}: A main character in Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot novel
"Curtain" is named Stephen Norton. (Apparently, Hodgkin's Law of Parallel
Planetary Development has been reading a lot of Agatha Christie lately: see
{poymar}.)
