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!
