Well, {Hay} is the pronunciation of {H}, and it's probably a pure coincidence, but there exists a spine surgeon in Los Angeles named "William H. Dillin"... and as Okrand was born in L.A., maybe he knows that person? Nah... that's too far fetched I guess. :-D -- Lieven L.

My guess is that it's a reference to the playwright and novelist William Inge (whose name is pronounced like "hinge", but without the "H", and who won the best screenplay at the 1961 Oscars). Okrand's in-jokes are often references to the theatre and film industries. That seems much more likely than some random spinal surgeon in LA. -- De'vID
