[Tlhingan-hol] qaghwI'

[Michael Roney, Jr. PKT]

Back when we gained the word {qaghwI'} there were remarks to the
effect that it didn't match the rest of the letters.
Some even went on to say that it made it stand out even more from the other 25.

I just stumbled upon something interesting.

In Hawaiian, this letter is called 'okina (which is what I call it,
even when talking about Klingon).
What I didn't know, is that it translates as "separator".

Knowing this, it makes a lot more sense (to me).
