Thanks for the source. I was perusing the qep'a' 2020 new words list over the weekend and discovered another one {DItroy'} Detroit.
Interesting example of using a glottal stop to transliterate a "t" in a syllable that otherwise already ends in a consonant.
The final /t/ in /Detroit/ is not aspirated the way a Klingon /t/ always is. A glottal stop is actually closer in sound to the unaspirated /t./ -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
