Oh, you mean because "pocket" is pronounced like *paqet*, and {paq} 
means "book", pronounced like {buq}...? I believe that's a bit farfetched.

In my opinion, Marc Okrand grabbed his TKD, saw the cover note on the 
left, and thought "Oh, pocket books... then pocket is book, i.e. buq".

This is quite similar to Babe Ruth and Das Boot.

Quvar.
PS: I'm so happy I can send mails again to the list. But you can still 
use my old address to send emails to me.
