    And to think, everyone has been saying G'raha's name wrong this whole time, since we can't hiss like Miqo'te

    I don't think the 'h' in Raha is supposed to be hissed. It doesn't really fit the pattern of where they put in the extra H's.

    I assume the letter is being used both for its normal sounds and hissing - a bit like C can represent either a K or S sound.

    Based on the examples given, it looks like unpronounced (by others) aitches, those "h" sounds the Miqo'te can do, are ones that come before or after a consonant that isn't s or c. Maybe t, but I don't know off the top of my head any Miqo'te names that use ht or th that don't also have s before the h anyway (like Y'shtola).
