Other jokes that reference music are {Hut'In}, possibly {moD}, the names of days of the week, and the toe verbs. On Wed, Jun 27, 2018 at 5:00 PM, SuStel <sustel@trimboli.name> wrote:

For mine, the joke on moD is too perfect for coincidence. taH:
the names of days of the week, and the toe verbs.
Obliquely, also QemjIq. Marc Okrand seems to be a Beatles fan. (Tangentially, I'd always been struck by the resemblance of the musical instrument chuS'ugh to Chusuk, the so-called "Music Planet" in Frank Herbert's Dune. It seems to be little more than a striking coincidence, though; the chuS'ugh appears to have been coined by Howard Weinstein for the TNG novel Power Hungry in '89, probably from chuS + 'ugh, and retrospectively canonised in the TKD Addendum. FWIW, in Power Hungry the chuS'ugh is described as a four-stringed instrument, pear-shaped, about two feet high, and played with a bow while it rests on the knee. Perhaps the cello is the nearest European classical equivalent.) QeS 'utlh

The "Star Trek Fact Files" magazine no. 89 claims the following: https://archive.org/stream/StarTrekFactFilesNo89/Star%20Trek%20Fact%20Files%... "Klingon opera is often accompanied by the bagpipe-like musical instrument known as a chuS'ugh." So... a bagpipe which is played with a bow? Interesting. -- De'vID

*jIQochbe'*, but the annotation on boQwI' says "Qov asked MO about this and he answered he didn't remember if it was deliberate," so I put it as a "possibly". (For those wondering, it's a suspected reference to the band Depeche Mode: *moD* means "hurry", as does the French word dépêcher.)

I think I've worked out that {povjaj} might refer to a Moody Blues song, but what might the coincidences for the other weekdays be?

All of the weekdays are references to the lyrics of The Beatles' "Lady Madonna". -- De'vID

Most of them are, anyway. The extra Saturday name can be found in “Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite”. Marc [uncharacteristically] divulged that after HoD Qanqor asked about it. — ghunchu'wI'

It makes me a little surprised that the original Klingon week didn’t have eight days rather than six…

I finally read about the days of the week puns mentioned here, and didn't see anyone mention: the example for 8-days-a-week is {lenmaq} (presumably a planet): {lenmaq} = Lennon+McCartney
In the opposite direction: 'oQqar 'root, tuber', surely from "ocarina", which is sometimes called a "sweet potato". ter'eS From: Steven Boozer <sboozer@uchicago.edu> To: "tlhingan-hol@kli.org" <tlhingan-hol@kli.org> Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2018 3:50 PM Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: jI'ev #yiv1047506888 #yiv1047506888 -- _filtered #yiv1047506888 {panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;} _filtered #yiv1047506888 {font-family:Calibri;panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;}#yiv1047506888 #yiv1047506888 p.yiv1047506888MsoNormal, #yiv1047506888 li.yiv1047506888MsoNormal, #yiv1047506888 div.yiv1047506888MsoNormal {margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:New serif;}#yiv1047506888 a:link, #yiv1047506888 span.yiv1047506888MsoHyperlink {color:blue;text-decoration:underline;}#yiv1047506888 a:visited, #yiv1047506888 span.yiv1047506888MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:purple;text-decoration:underline;}#yiv1047506888 span.yiv1047506888EmailStyle17 {font-family:sans-serif;color:#1F497D;}#yiv1047506888 .yiv1047506888MsoChpDefault {font-family:sans-serif;}#yiv1047506888 .yiv1047506888MsoPapDefault {margin-bottom:4.0pt;} _filtered #yiv1047506888 {margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in;}#yiv1047506888 div.yiv1047506888WordSection1 {}#yiv1047506888 tlhaQqu’. latlh QoQ qIDmey Sov’a’ vay’? --Voragh From: De'vID Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2018 4:29 PM On Tue, Jun 26, 2018, 20:20 DloraH, <seruq@bellsouth.net> wrote: On Tue, 2018-06-26 at 18:01 +0200, De'vID wrote:
