The syllable division in Klingon is usually between two consonants. So, is this {‘op-uH}, or is it {‘o-puH}? Where do you divide the syllables? It’s like the {p} is the syllable boundary, making it somehow not quite belong to either syllable.</div><div><br></div><div>I’m don't feel sure I really know how to pronounce this simple word.</div><div><br></div><div>Likely, it’s {‘op-uH} patterned after the one most common syllable that lacks the usual consonant: {-oy} as in {SoSoy} and {vavoy}, which one knows to be pronounced with the syllable breaks at {SoS-oy} and {vav-oy}…</div><div><br></div><div>Unless it’s more like the prefixes…</div><div><br></div><div>Yep.
