Pronuncia

qʰuʔ

Pronuncia qu' lettera per lettera:

• qqʰk far back in the throat, aspirated
• uuu as in 'boot'
• 'ʔglottal stop, the catch in 'uh-oh'

• The word qu' may also be used as an exclamation ("Great!" "Wonderful!"). In this sense, it seems to be interchangeable with chong (literally, "be vertical"; see page 148). The slang usage of qu' is currently extremely common among Klingons, and it has pretty much displaced another slang term with the same set of meanings ("excellent, wonderful, etc."), Huv (literally, "be clear, not obstructed"), which was in vogue not all that long ago. [KGT pp.160--161]

• Dun — essere meraviglioso, essere grandioso
• qu' — essere grandioso, essere meraviglioso, essere eccellente, essere superlativo, essere splendido, essere buono [slang]
