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 "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.

There is a certain Klingonist whose name has an association between the last syllable of yI'De' and the last syllable of cervid.
