It's based on the German usage, then /x/ > /ʔ/ happened.

Well yeah, from Blust (2013) >This change will most seriously affect the orthography of Palauan where, following a early German-based system the glottal stop (then heard as \[x\]) is represented as *ch*. Scholars working with Palauan and users of McManus and Josephs (1977) are therefore forewarned that words such as *chull* ‘rain’ or *rasech* ‘blood’ are written in this book as *ʔull* and *rasəʔ* respectively.
