Okay, maybe far fetched, but the Actor is William Bailey.
Also, just now when I looked at the other lightning word, {raw}, I see the German "blitzen", which makes me think of "Blitzkrieg", and what is "Krieg" but {raw} backwards? But I very much doubt that's what Marc Okrand was thinking, unless you had something to do with it.
