I didn't get the message from James Landau: is there a problem with the mailing list? Anyway, I think the pun is considerably simpler: *yI'De'* is the answer for the request <https://www.kli.org/chabal-archive/cervinoid/> "cervinoid, deerlike or mooselike animal". The dog on the TV show *Frasier* was named Eddie (*yI'De'* backwards) and was played by a dog named... Moose. On Tue, Aug 2, 2022 at 7:46 PM Hugh Son puqloD <Hugh@qeylis.net> wrote:

yI'De' (cervid-like animal): Rearranging the phonemes, you get *DI'ye'* (deer). Or, alternatively, SIR-vid (a play on "sir")? Because *yI'* means "to speak in an honorable fashion". But then, what does data have to do with -vid?
There is a certain Klingonist whose name has an association between the last syllable of yI'De' and the last syllable of cervid. _______________________________________________ tlhIngan-Hol mailing list tlhIngan-Hol@lists.kli.org http://lists.kli.org/listinfo.cgi/tlhingan-hol-kli.org
