Pun: VISCERa. Speaking of puns, I spoke with Marc Okrand on Facebook and mentioned some of the clever puns he's hidden in recently revealed words. I thought *mobIj* for "latch" probably had something to do with "jibboom", but Marc said he didn't see a connection between "latch" and "jibboom". Then I thought about it more, and noticed how *jIbom* also means "I sing". "I sing" sounds like "isinglass" . . . were latches traditionally made with isinglass, or put on isinglass windows or used with isinglass curtains? >Message: 2 >Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2025 15:25:49 +0000 >From: Steven Boozer <sboozer(a)uchicago.edu> >To: "tlhingan-hol(a)kli.org" <tlhingan-hol(a)kli.org> >Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: re'chIv >Message-ID: > <SN7PR11MB80417D881C11268C274D8D7AC11F2(a)SN7PR11MB8041.namprd11.prod.outlook.com> > >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > >Klingon Word of the Day for Monday, January 13, 2025 > >Klingon word: re'chIv >Part of speech: noun >Definition: internal organ >Source: qep'a' 29 [2022] >_______________________________________________ > >AFAIK not used in a sentence. > >(qepHom 2023): {remloS}, in its singular sense, would refer to any individual internal organ.

Pun: ro'qa' = Almond Roca = almond = Mandel = tonsil (For the non-Teutonophones on here, "Mandel" is a German word that means both "almond" and "tonsil".)
