music class, and it surfaces in my memory occasionally like PTSD.
<i class="">Dogies</i> does not sound like <i class="">doggies;</i> the first
syllable <i class="">do</i> rhymes with the word <i class="">so</i> (and the
Klingon syllable <b class="">Do</b>).</p><p class=""><i class="">Whoopee ti yi yo, git along little dogies!<br class="">

<i class="">dogies</i> nowadays, I have no doubt that Okrand was thinking
about this song when he invented the word.<br class="">
