https://klingon.wiki/En/NewWordsQepa33 And while we're on the word *gheqDarIb*, what do you suppose the pun for this raccoon-like Klingon animal is? *bIraD qegh* means "the vat/barrel, you force it" -- maybe a reference to the way raccoons force garbage cans  open with their paws? Or maybe the bIraD- part is from "biradical", and has to do with bent radicals -- a reference to tie character Bentley from the eighties TV show Raccoons? (But that would leave the *gheq/qegh* part unexplained.) Some puns I figured out already: bI'lap (animal resembling a seal or sea lion): Another Beatles pun! Backwards, this is *pal'Ib* -- Paul I B = I be Paul = I am Paul. John Lennon sang that "I am" the walrus, and in "Glass Onion", the Beatles reveal that "The walrus was Paul". cha'Dot (olivine): cha' Dot = two Dots = a pair o' dots = peridot HebvIch (chert, flint): I looked up *beH*, and aside from being a suffix for "be ready to", this can also mean "rifle". A reference to flintlocks on rifles? labmIt (cicada): The tymbal is the part of the cicada that produces its loud sound. laHtlhav (opal): The make of car known as Opel in continental Europe is known as Vauxhall in the U.K. luQ (be extraverted) and luQHa' (be introverted): This pair was my request. Is the suggestion that extroverts make more "lucre" than introverts? (Unlikely, because so many of the richest people are qatru'pu'.) Or that we extroverts are "cruel" to introverts? Or just that extroverts are more likely to be "cool" (with *luq* with a lower-case q already taken for "OK, I will")? maHpagh (zeitgeist): *maH* is "ten" and *pagh* is "zero". So this is probably an allusion to the concept of decades. mu''um (palindrome): *mu'* (word) with itself turned backwards, to form a palindromic word! nItupSar (amoeba): This one stuck out at me instantly. Amoeba and Rasputin are both names of record stores in Berkeley, California. I've been to both! nIwnej (article [writing]): The genuine article. ngotol (tachyon): fotol in xifan hol, so this appears to be a reference to photo-, the Greek root for "light". Perhaps "photology"? pIq (intercept): Pick up. puH nItlh (peninsula): My other request. Not a pun, but this translates as "land finger", which was exactly the wording I used in phrasing my definition: "A finger of land that sticks out into the sea from the rest of a continent or island". qIw (pray to, implore, beseech): Weak? raj (instigate, incite, trigger, induce): Jar, as in be jarring. rer (be curious): A curiosity (using the other sense of the word "curious") is a rarity. roDnavrach (scandium): Charles van Doren was involved in a quiz show SCANDal in the 1950's. rom'IS (toy): Backwards, this is Seymour. Perhaps a reference to Seamore the Beanie Baby seal, since Beanie Babies are toys, and we also got a word for "seal, sea lion" this year. wIq'em (germanium): The Wikipedia article on germanium tells me that the element was discovered by one Clemens Winkler. 'a'lubIng (brooch): Another xifan hol pun: fibula brooch.
