<p>I have in my notes that {warjun} is a reference to two characters from a certain television show (you can figure it out yourself).  I also have a note under {tlher} that this is a reference that&#39;s somehow related.  I presume that this is the name &quot;Claire&quot;, but I know next to nothing about the show, so I don&#39;t know who &quot;Claire&quot; might be.  Someone must have told me that it was a pun at some point, but I neglected to make a clearer note at the time.  Does anyone know the pun behind {tlher}?</p>

<p>p.s. In the sentence {A B je chaH C D je&#39;e&#39;}, did I put the {&#39;e&#39;} in the right place?  Or should it have been {A B je chaH C&#39;e&#39; D&#39;e&#39; je}?</p>
<p>p.p.s. I like {mu&#39; qID} &quot;word joke&quot; for &quot;pun&quot;, though I suppose it really should be {qID mu&#39;} &quot;joke word&quot;.   There&#39;s a kind of parallelism with {mu&#39;qaD}.</p>
