Because in Klingon, no word starts with a vowel. Even from a linguistic 
view, in most languages, words woth vowels start with a glottal stop. 
Try saying "I ate eight egg" without the stop. I will sound like 
"hi-yate-tate-hags".

In my pronunciation of English (I am in England), the separator in "I-ate-eight-eggs" is a slight hesitation, and not a true glottal stop with closure of the glottis.
