IIRC, {chuyDaH} appeared in ST3 (1984) to match Christopher Lloyd's mouth saying "thrusters" in English, while {chuy} was revealed later in HolQeD 12.4:8 (2003): If one were to {chuy} "sneeze", one would likely eject {'IqnaH} "mucus" (or sometimes {'IqnaH QaD} "dry mucus"). It's more likely Okrand was inspired by the onomatopoeia "achoo!", although "sneeze array" certainly makes a useful mnemonic. --Voragh -----Original Message----- From: kechpaja On Mon, Mar 05, 2018 at 02:46:34PM +0000, Steven Boozer wrote:

Wait... so {chuyDaH} literally means "sneeze array". Which is actually not a bad way to refer to a bunch of thrusters, if you have a sense of humor like Marc's. I wonder if that was intentional. - SapIr _______________________________________________
