Some risque (not "risky") interpretations



In reply to "Yet Another Possible Word ... gulp:"

You never thought of the simple difficulty of trying to pronounce the 
phrase "the so - called robot," or

                                                qoqqoq

I hope this raises as much of a smile as the next word,which
Marc Okrand himself gave us:

                             nga'chuq              sex - always subject

Now, the -chuq suffix (Type 1 verb) implies plurality, since it is 
assumed that sex is always conducted with more than one person. How 
many is more than one, by the way? :-)

But there is another Type 1 suffix, however. (Some of you may have 
looked into the future, and are now cringing at what I'm about to 
tell you. Good.) 

The existence of the term <nga'chuq> must preclude the existence of 
another verb, also always subject:

                            nga''egh                      masturbate (v)

Not to mention the possibility of there being a term such as

                            nga'wI'ghom              orgy ...

I offer these without further comment.

Until the next time.
