I (re-)listened to Conversational Klingon, and when Okrand says {lenHom} (near the end of the second track called "Klingon cursing"), it sounds to me like it does rhyme with "home" or "bone". He says something like "len-home" (but with a {H}).
As I said before, it's very difficult to decribe sounds using words. In addition, the pronunciation of English words even differs a lot depending on the where the speaker lives. Wikipedia even lists different ways of English pronunciation. Does {lenHom} rhyme with "home"? Maybe it does, depending on how you say "home". I wouldn't argue with that. Websters webpage does it perfectly like Klingon {Hom}: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/home But if a Klingon speaker from Great Britain would came to me saying {Hom} as [xəʊm], I think I would definitely want to correct them. -- Lieven L.
