Jatlh!

There are a number of <thlingan mu'mey> that <tera'nganpu' jIv> would be tempted (at their peril) to call  puns:  <batlh>, <bIr>, <HIq>, <tIq>, <bIghHa'>.   A few could be called antonymous puns:  <joy'>, <qul>-and others interjectory:  <pIw>, <yay'>, <yIH>, <'Iw,> <'oy'>.

Such purely coincidental associations can be useful as mnemonic devices for the student of <thlingan Hol>.  (I suspect that <ghIlaSnoS> and <nughI'> may actually have been stolen outright from Klingon time travelers.) 

Any other examples?
