Hello, for playing the language bubble game, Maltz was asked for such a word. ---- For the archive: this is printed in qepHom 2017, page 20. ---- The verb is {ngon}. The noun is {ba'Suq}. Also... The verb {jo'} means "blow into a container of some kind" in the sense of "inflate, fill with air, blow up" ("blow up" like to blow up a balloon, not "explode"). It's used for blowing up a balloon, blowing into a paper bag (so you can then hit the bag against something so that it explodes with a loud noise), whatever it is that glass blowers do, and, yes, blow bubbles. It's not the same as {SuS}, which can also be used for blowing out a candle. With {SuS} you're blowing into/onto/at something, but the air gets out of the thing (or never goes in it). With {jo'}, the air is trapped in the thing and can't come out until you let it out (or the thing breaks). The object of both verbs is the thing you blow into/onto/at. If you use a {-Daq} construction, it implies that you missed – you blew towards the object, but the air bypassed it. ---- Additional information, not printed: The verb {ngon} describes what water does when it's boiling: It's bubbling. Also, if you blow with a straw into a glass of water, then it's also bubble-ing, i.e. making bubbles. The person does not {ngon}, they {ngonmoH} the water. The noun {ba'Suq} is used also for a chewing gum bubble, a soap bubble and so on. You can even have bubbles in the bath tub, and the foam in the bathtub is made of millions of bubbles, but the foam itself is not called bubble. Of course, you can add suffixes to it for very small bubbles, like the ones you have in sparkling water and champagne, for instance. ---- This information from #qepHom2017 will be added to the page "Message from Maltz" on qepHom.de: https://www.qephom.de/e/message_from_maltz.html -- Lieven L.

A pun: ba'Suq = Bazooka is a brand of chewing gum. (We've also got {rIS} as a pun on Rice Krispies and {peS} as a pun on Pez. Someone must have been looking forward to Halloween...) On Mon, Nov 20, 2017 at 8:45 AM, Lieven <levinius@gmx.de> wrote:

There's an additional pun here with the new word {jo'}. Bazooka Joe was the advertising character for Bazooka Gum. {ba'Suq'a' jo'} would mean "he blows a very large bubble".
