Don't forget my favorite: mI'QeD - mathematics. I've also used 'u'QeD
for cosmology (astrophysics, high energy physics, etc.), but that one
may be a bit of a stretch.

Many people do just this. On this mailing list I've seen:
*be'QeD gynaecology
*De'wI'QeD computer science, cybernetics
*Ha'DIbaHQeD zoology
*HovQeD astronomy
*naghQeD geology
*naHQeD botany, horticulture
*nughQeD sociology, anthropology
*qamQeD podiatry
*qunQeD historiography
*tIQQeD archaeology
*veSQeD military science
*yabQeD psychology
*yInQeD biology
But, the only official compounds we have are:
HolQeD linguistics KGT
Hov leng QeD "Treknology" STC [not exactly a compound, but the
principle's
the same]
HuchQeD economics (KGT 148)
And since we're on the topic, everyone knows the pun for {QeD},
right?
.. Q.E.D. (quod erat demonstrandum)!
