Which makes sense, as {chab} is glossed as "pie, tart, dumpling". Pizza is
also called "pizza pie" by some people - particularly here in Chicago, home
of the "deep dish" pizza which really does look like a meat pie.
SuStel, thanks for passing this along. It sounds like this may have been
lunch or supper talk. Does anyone remember whether Okrand has made similar
useful comments about Klingon food words at other qep'a'mey or conventions?

According to my notes, *{tIrSoj} - spelled as one word - was used by the
KLI's Klingon Bible Translation Project (KBTP). *{tIrSoj taS} was used for
"yeast, leaven".
