For many years, I thought that the pun behind the word {'Iw} is the reaction of peeple who say "Eeeew" when they see blood. Now I was recently involved in a film production, where I saw a bottle of fake blood. The fake blood can be used internally (i.e. in your mouth), external, and it's washable. These three words are abbreviated on the bottle, simply reading "IEW". Knowing that Okrand worked on TV sets, it is possible that this is not just a coincidence. But maybe it really is just a coincidence, maybe we'll never know. -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.tlhInganHol.com http://klingon.wiki/Word/-Iw
