Got a pretty good crop of puns in this batch.
jIyweS ("translation, gloss"): "g" + "loss"
nompuq ("authority, evidence, attestation, reference, citation"): I have a convoluted solution here. A familiar phrase on Wikipedia is "citation needed". "Wiki-" comes from a Hawaiian word meaning "quick". "-pedia" looks like the ancient Greek root for child, as in "pediatrician" (and is ultimately derived from the ancient Greek word for "child"). "Quick" + "child" =
nompuq.
Ho'DoS ("system, method, manner, technique"): While poking around for this pun, I came across the etymology of the word "method", and found
this word from Ancient Greek: ὁδός (hodós), which can mean "the way, means, or manner to some end, method." We don't get a lot of puns based on Ancient Greek.
vIparHa'! (One
thing I've noticed with Okrand's recent puns is that when he provides
multiple glosses for a word with a pun in it, if the pun is related to
an alternate meaning or use of one of those glosses, it'll probably be
the word he lists first. Look at the order of glosses in the original
description of 'oDtu', for instance. Don't tell him I said that though or he might start switching it up.)
He switched it up! vIbollu'pu'!
