I'd lead a heart.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

ha ha me too. Too bad that we bid so much before, otherwise it would be a perfect ♦Q lead in fact
at the table I would go for (a possibly generalised variant of) jdonn's law and lead a trump.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I don't think a small ♣ is that difficult at the table, the alternatives are not appealing imo.

Why are we trying to be a hero with a club lead? The opponents had just about the weakest possible auction to 4♥.

In my case this is because I expect dummy to hold 4 spades and provide discards given my poor holding. I want partner in for a diamond through in case LHO is 4432

Trump or spade work. Both minor suit kings are on your right (and partner has the ♣QJ).

Why is partner more likely to hold the ♣K (and to play it at trick one!), or to hold the ♣Q with K on our left and J n our right, than to hold a stopper (A or K or Q9 or...) in the spade suit?

he obviously isn't, he is 100% sure to have spade stopper and 0% to have ♣K from what phil said 
.
What I though is that spades could blow a trick as well as clubs, and I didn't expect dummy to have zero club honnors.

I'd lead a trump. Low club might work but I don't see the need for it.
