{quSlab} ("bench") makes sense from an in-world perspective, as it includes the syllable {quS} ("chair"). However, I wonder if it could simultaneously be a pun on "slab", which is "a large, flat piece of solid material". ________________________________________ From: tlhIngan-Hol <tlhingan-hol-bounces@lists.kli.org> on behalf of De'vID <de.vid.jonpin@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, July 25, 2016 15:42 To: tlhIngan-Hol Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] New words at the qep'a' On 23 July 2016 at 02:10, Tad Stauffer <tadbot@gmail.com> wrote:

This is brilliant. "Harold Arlen" = "Har A." = {Har'ey} and "E.Y. Harburg" = "E.Y. Har" = {Har'ey}. -- De'vID _______________________________________________ tlhIngan-Hol mailing list tlhIngan-Hol@lists.kli.org http://lists.kli.org/listinfo.cgi/tlhingan-hol-kli.org
