I've always wondered about this word - when Okrand writes "charming, used
only ironically," does he also mean that this can be used sarcastically? -
that's the impression I've gotten from its use. i.e., wejpuH would be used
when you mean exactly the opposite of "charming", such as "bol ghaH 'ej ghu
Da - wejpuH"
