Ising latch machines? chaq. Can't say I've heard of them myself. Then there's the Dany headphone manufacturer. I discovered the name when I was trying to figure out the etymology/pun behind *DannI'* (which was my chabal tetlh request, BTW). Maybe that's it, maybe that's not it, but I can't imagine what else it would be. >Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2025 13:24:36 +0100 >From: "De'vID" <de.vid.jonpin(a)gmail.com> >To: tlhingan-hol(a)kli.org >Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: re'chIv >Message-ID: > <CA+7zAmNRTRQRGzM-q4mcGXY_j1hFODXVW+BeQtXbK1Yru+uo5A(a)mail.gmail.com> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > >I think what I'm about to describe is very likely a real coincidence (as >in, unintended by Marc Okrand), but an Ising machine is a type of computing >device which uses the Ising model (named after physicist Ernst Ising), and >a latch is a circuit with two stable states, and there are in fact such >things as latch Ising machines, but unless Okrand is *really* into >electronics, I doubt this is the inspiration behind the word.

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".)
