However, I can't think of what {rubyo'} can be a reference to, except for a very specific politician. Can anyone else have any ideas?
The
original request for the word "politician" wasn't entirely value-neutral: "A person who is professionally involved in the
politics. Also a derogatory term for a person who manipulates or pleases
others just to gain own advantage. For example Gowron is described as a
politician in DS9"
So it's possible Okrand was thinking more along the lines of the latter half of the request when thinking about specific politicians.
