Oh, I assumed it was meant to imply that {cheSmey} were associated with rapid reproduction for Klingons, in the same way that rabbits are on Earth. Perhaps we're interpreting different parts of the context in different ways. - SapIr On Thu, May 04, 2017 at 05:36:25PM +0000, Steven Boozer wrote:
When the words from qep’a’ 23 were shared back in July, qurgh added a comment:
Dr. Okrand noted that what prompted Maltz to come up with this word in this context was not clear.
Clearly a not-so-subtle hint for us to discover the pun. I assumed it was a name; but type “rabbit ches” into your browser’s Search window and see for yourselves …

[For "bunny"... There's a Klingon animal that's sort of like a rabbit called a {cheS}. So a rabbit on Earth would be, I guess, a {tera' cheS}, though, in context, {cheS} is good enough. And a "bunny," I supposed is a {cheSHom} or maybe {cheSoy}.] e-mail MO to naHQun July 4, 2016
