Re: [tlhIngan Hol] tlhIngan-Hol Digest, Vol 98, Issue 29
I've been adding those new words to the vocabulary category pages all evening -- including the "body functions" list from my own LCV (since we _finally_ have a way of saying "sperm"!) I've noticed a few more puns: re'tISyav (spermatozoon): Physeter is the genus to which sperm whales belong. teQ (assume): "I take it . . ." paQjen (sequin, spangle): Backwards, this is *nej Qap* -- "seek-win". HIjnaj (demon): Dream-deliverer, like an incubus or succubus; or, backwards, *jan jIH*, device viewing screen, maybe because technology is the Devil, or maybe because Satan is watching you. Interestingly, *jan jIH* is how you'd say "I'm John" in Klingon. I'm ready to call it a night!

Close, but you're overthinking it: {jan} "de"vice + {jIH} "mon"itor. -- De'vID
