  Since there is a running thread about what suggested particular Klingon
words to Okrand:-

  {puq} = "child" may have been suggested by the mischevous spirit Puck in "A
Midsummer Night's Dream" by Shakespeare.
  {Daq} = "place": a similar real-world place-type word is "dak bungalow" =
"in colonial India, a building where official travellers and message-runners
could get a bed and a meal"; "dak" is Hindi for "mail, the postal service".
