That's 'aD



KGT consistently uses {'aD} for "measuring distance".  In HolQeD about the
skybox card we had {'ab}.  Since {'aD} already is a noun for "vein", I was
hoping to see {'ab} for "measure distance".

A couple more puns:  

noS = Yiddish word noosh for eating snacks
bIghHa' = big house (according to my housemate)
chatlh = chattel
may'ron = Myron (a brand name of accordian makers)
ghIgh = gig (a job)

We already have {DuH} for "possibility".  Now we get {nuH} without a capital
"N" and not marked as (slang).  Is this right?

And, I've had to readjust my usage of {tlhob} for "ask".  We now have {ghel}
for "ask a question".
