[Tlhingan-hol] Denim Jacket with Klingon text at Think Geek

[Felix Malmenbeck]

As Voragh and ghunchu'wI' point out, that spelling is used multiple times in paq'batlh. It had also appeared previously in the glossary (vetted by Marc Okrand) accompanying the novel "Diplomatic Implausibility" by Keith R.A. DeCandido.

ghItlhta' Voragh:
> For those interested, Okrand also used {Su-} for the initial consonant cluster /st/ in {Sutra'ber naHmey} "strawberries" in TalkNow! Klingon.

He has also used it for an initial /sv/ in {Suverya'} ("Sverige", or "Sweden"), also in TalkNow! Klingon.

It is at least possible that someone misunderstood the IPA /tʰ/
(t-with-superscript-h), which represents the Klingon {t} sound.

I have it as {Suto'vo'qor} from the paq'batlh.
