I think this year's puns are tricky or hard to find.
They've been that way lately.
Although, on the other hand, I quickly found one you did not discover:
{ngayvo'wan} working pants
When typing pIqaD, {ng} is mapped on the F key. (and we know Okrand knows that, as he's done this before, IIRC)
I remember him doing that too, although I can't recall which word it was with.
Now read it aloud: Fayvo'wan --> 501 is a well known Levi's Jeans.
Right you are! That is SO cool! (My high school had a senior superlative category for "Best buns in 501's".)

These are the other references made using "xifan hol" that I have: {ngItHel} "fithel" (fiddle, in Middle English spelling) {ngonDer} "fonder" (absence makes the heart grow...) {nguy} "fuy" (fooey, an expression of disdain) {tlhapragh} "xaprag" (reverse to "garpax", the record company) {vI'Ir} "vizir" (brand name) -- De'vID
