Huh, I was wondering about that too ;) I treat the instructions that {'} is "silent h" very literally and don't pronunce it at all ;) (At least in my mind, as I don't have many occasions to speak lojban) But from what I heard I seem to be alone in that, and it's kinda problematic because although there is a theoretical difference between "h" and "ch", it's mostly, if not entirely, gone from modern Polish. So I have just one mental model for "h" and hesitate to use it for both {x} and {'}.

So could some confirm that using the same sound for {x} and {'} does not introduce ambiguity? :)
