Who can say? But it is certainly believable that this is one of Okrand's
jokes. Note, though, that "bang" is "one who is loved", not the emotion.

Hmm? Just because they used the word? I don't see that that indicates
they feel love the same way we do. Hell, I don't know that we have any
evidence that I feel love the same way you do, or anything else. More
importantly, I don't really see that it matters. :)
