lom



A friend of mine, who occasionally listens to me babble on about Klingon, has 
just detected an Okrandian pun (or, at least, what seems to be one).  Has 
anyone ever nocited this one before?

English: loam (n) a loose soil composed of clay and sand, esp. a kind 
containing organic matter and of great fertility.

Etc.

Klingon:
lom (n) corpse
lam (n) dirt
lam (v) be dirty

Coincidence?  Wrong?  Really cool?
