Subject: [tlhIngan Hol] Ooh la la, a pun!

I just deciphered my first pun of the 2025 qepHom:

At first, I puzzled over *SIq'ang*, the word for the pole of a planet.

Nothing forward comes to mind. So let's look at it backwards: *nga'qIS*.

There is no word that's just plain *nga'*, at least not in canon. But I realized that *nga'chuq* is "have sex". And *qIS* has a similar 

meaning: "be libidinous".

Then it hit me: it's a reference to _Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn_ by Henry Miller!
