Well, sounds like an 'over-literal' translation of 'Cricket', taking the
insect-meaning, rather than the game. Interesting, given that Okrand was
happy to put "Di" as {Day}, he chose not to say something like
{*QIq'et}, instead choosing to literally translate the game's name,
which so far as I know, has *nothing* to do with 'crickets'.
BTW, some Scots like Cricket too, even if we don't have a national
team...
