Oh, OK. I assume we finally got our word for Mexico?
It's {me'HIyqo}.
ghuD (fellow-X, be in common, be co-X): Backwards, this sounds like "drug/droog" -- the Russian (and Nadsat) word for friend.
I agree with Lieven that this is probably a reference to "He's a jolly good fellow", or possibly the film Goodfellas.
qaytap (bill, act): Backwards, this is paty aq - sounds like "PATRIOT Act". Do all of you think this is it?
The {y} seems misplaced to me.
renyarDaq (ESP): Backwards, *renyar* becomes *rayner*. Perhaps a blend of J. B. "Rhine" and "Zener" cards?
This is likely a reference to Noreen Renier, an alleged psychic, just like {relleghDaq} is a reference to Uri Geller. -- De'vID
