That reminds me of an incident at Saarbrücken qepHom 2011. Okrand was making an announcement about the paq'batlh, and at the end he exclaimed, {pItlh!} Then someone reminded him of something, and he said, "Oh, *{pItlhbe'}?" People started chanting {mu' chu'!} to which Okrand laughed and said/gestured "no".
I don't think *{pItlhbe'} belongs in a dictionary or word list, even though Okrand did say it, because he was obviously joking.
Yes, and also because he immediately said "NO". It was just very clear we don't need to memorize that. PS: There's also the addition to {jIr} (ladeeda) where he said "don't write it down, it's wrong", but some people did anyway. Nevertheless, we agree about *pItlhbe'. -- Lieven L.
