 Lieven (qepHom 2015):  
  MO:   {chabHom} is fine as a general term for a cookie (food). A {bIQyIn} 
             is a specific type of {chabHom} that's sort of two {chabHommey} 
             stuck together. They're on top of each other, like a sandwich.
  LL:      Like a sandwich... Maltz didn't mention the word sandwich being
             called a {HIlel}?
  MO:   Maltz never said that - Mark Shoulson said that! 

[Okrand later admitted he was wrong:  {HIlel} was actually coined by Captain Krankor.]

(SuStel, 7/10/2004):   At a qep'a' a few years ago, we asked Marc Okrand about this, and he said that {chab} would work for this. The word means any baked bread or crust sort of food. So, doughnuts are {chab}, turnovers are {chab}, and pizza is {chab}. Mince pie would be {chab}. Bagels are {chab}.  […]  {chab} doesn't equal bread. Don't expect your audience to know what kind of {chab} you mean unless you say it. You may be talking about a hamburger bun, but I'm going to wonder why you're putting meat into your apple turnovers.

(Lieven [date?]):  [*{tIr Soj}] was used at the qepHom, I don't know who, but it was some German who came up with this description. But *{tIr Soj} could also be corn flakes, or Weizenbier. It's not the word for bread either.

(Lieven < MO, qepHom 2017):  When you cut your bread and the crumbs fall out (like snow), you use the verb {peD}. […]  During explaining, it seemed like the bread is the subject of {peD}, but also the bread crumbs themselves.

TREK NOTES:
OCETT :      The Yridian who sold us the information claimed that the 
	        program would yield the key to an unlimited power source. 
PICARD :    But until we assemble it, we will never know its purpose. 
OCETT :      He's right. As far as we know, it might just be a recipe for biscuits. 
NU'DAQ :   Biscuits?  If that is what you believe, then go back to Cardassia. 
                      I will send you my mother's recipe. [TNG "The Chase"]
