I thought it might've had something to do with I Dream of Jeannie. I don't remember the bra, but I do remember how the taboo against showing Jeannie's 'eQway was a big deal.

Look what the vIghro' (or layyan, or taygher, or jeghwar) brought in.

Many new words for animals, clothes, and food! We can talk about bees now, and we finally have a word for "Ukraine"! It's also nice to have a word for turtleneck, since that's what I always wear. http://klingon.wiki/En/NewWordsQepHom2022 My first stab at the puns: Ho'latbeD (raison d'être / ikigai) -- Idol-shrine-bed janIj (bra) -- Backwards, this is *jInaj*: "I dream". Wonderbra? jva (confused prisoner) -- Jean Valjean? lachvoH (bee hive) -- Backwards, this is *Hov chal*, starry sky. Perhaps the Beyhive (as in, Beyoncé & Co.) is a "sky full of stars"? Aside from *'ImtIy*, though, Marc Okrand doesn't seem to make puns about twenty-first century pop culture. Or else he would've made the word for "beaver" something like *nItsaj* or *da'ghet*. maqSung (bee, wasp) -- "Proclaim native"? Or maybe there's an actor named Mac Sung or Max Unger or something who played a hymenopteran role? po'lIgh (sauce) -- Glop. waDwach (scarf) -- Backwards this is "chow down" -- the OTHER meaning of "scarf". wu'DIy (beaver) -- Woody, since beavers chew woody material.

Brains on Conlangs
by Lieven L. Litaer 15 Dec '22

15 Dec '22

Hi there, during the qepHom, Marc okrand told me about the research of the MIT regarding the action of the brain when speaking constructed languages. He also said there were some Klingonists involved which we know. For the record and the archives (i.e. the Klingon Wiki) I would like to write more about this. So – if there is no NDA of course – could you please tell me if you were involved, and if there is anything interesting to tell about those studies? Of course, you may also add whatever you like to tell directly into the page. For more information on the topic, see → http://klingon.wiki/En/BrainsOnConlangs -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.tlhInganHol.com
