<p>Qa'yIn is asking whether Klingons vocally stress <b>-'e'</b>
when it's acting as focus. I don't think they need to: the <b>-'e'</b>
itself is a sharp sound that draws attention.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<p>Vixis in <i>Star Trek V:</i> <b>'ach HoD, Hevetlh wIghoSchugh,
veH tIn wI'el maH'e'.</b> <i>But Captain, that course will take
us into the Barrier as well.</i> Vixis doesn't give particular
stress to the <b>maH, </b>but her voice rises on the <b>'e'.</b><br>
