A friend of mine has a copy of the Klingon Dictionary, which suggests (for
that language) that the ' indicates that the letter or sylable immediately
before is almost repeated after a short pause, as if echoed. Thus
Tavrchedl' might be pronounced with the l repeated in a subdued manner.
I'm quoting the Dictionary from memory, so I may be wrong; also Zhos are
not Klingons :-}
