If you play with forward and backward stuff in English and Klingon and play with the fact that the English word “lead” can be pronounced two different ways, then {Delaq Do’} becomes potentially interpreted as, “I lead the vessel."

But even Okrand doesn’t stretch puns THAT far.

Does he?

Delaq Do' was not invented by Okrand. It was written by an episode writer for Deep Space Nine. Okrand back-fit it based on the context in which it was used. There is no pun here.
