So I was flipping through my Hawaiian dictionary the other day,
and came upon the following entry:
maka waiu n. nipple of the breast
Which I found interesting because in Klingon,
maka=mIn
waiu=nIm
which is made even more interesting because Klingon has several word pairs
that switch the letter order like the above example.
I don't think MO did this on purpose, I just found it entertaining.
