There isn't any "r" in {Qo'noS}, but an ear unaccustomed to a sound can misinterpret what it hears.
Actually, hearing the r in the Q sound is not so far off. Note that most of the English versions on Q-names start with Kr, so it was surely Okrands intention and also a linguistic basis to have those sounds resembling. But indeed, in Klingon, you don't say {qr}. Qaj - Kradge Qel - Krell Qugh - Kruge Qotmagh - Krotmag Qo'noS - Kronos etc. -- Lieven L.
