I think the extra qaghwI' at the end threw me off. I had it as a rebus/pseudo-calque of "whaddayacallit": "whadda" = "water" = "salivate" = <b>tIl</b>, and the final "lit" as "let" = <b>chaw'</b>, and then I was trying to figure out how <b>qem</b> could stand for "yacall". My best guess was that "bring" could be an onomatopoeia of a phone ringing.)<br></div><br></div><div>A few more puns from this and other recent word lists that I had been putting into a list to post:</div><div><ul><li><b>Hen </b>"be experienced": Jimi "Hen"drix's first album was titled<i> Are You Experienced</i>, and his band was The Jimi Hendrix Experience.</li><li><b>lew</b> "bloom": Lew Bloom was an American vaudeville performer, actor, art collector, and artist.</li><li><b>yItQet</b> "petroleum, crude oil": <b>boQwI'</b> currently lists this pun as a reference to "Tikriti", which I think is kind of a stretch.
