I'm not advocating that we actually *use* this borrowed word, of course;
it's basically an inside joke along the lines of "Paramount Hol". But if
you *are* going to put it in your sentences, at least do it correctly. :-)
You have either treated it as a noun or left off a verb prefix.
[The non-word {*yID} was used as a verb by Captain Krankor, in the sentence
{DaH jIyID}, after he received a yarmulke as a gift and had placed it on his
head.]
