English is not my native language. I live in Puerto Rico and Spanish is my
native tongue. In Puerto Rico, we have a sound for some words containing "r"
such as "arroz" that's precisely the sound used for the Klingon "H", so for
me it's just a matter of knowing whether or not Lojban "x" is the same sound
as Klingon "H" and that's enough. Thanks.
