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.
