Okay, here are a few "fishy" things I came up with., based (mostly) an
{bIQ} "water" and {bIQDep} "fish":
{bIQDep'a'} - whale
{bIQDep'a' Hol} - whale song
{bIQDep QeD} - ichthyology (figh science)
{bIQDepvaD cham} - A fish hunt, a fishing trip/voyage
{bIQDep Sep} - to breed fish
*{bIQDep tIn} - a long fish, eel
*{lungbIQDep} - serpent fish?, eel?
*{bIQlung} - water lizard?, water snake?
{bIQDep'a' chIS} - The White Whale, Moby Dick
{norgh'a' chIS} - great white shark
*{norghlung} - shark lizard (crocodile)?
{wambogh bIQDep'a'} - the whale who hunts, killer whale
{bombogh bIQDep'a'} - the whale who sings, humpback whale
{bIQ'a'(vo') lung'a'} - Great Serpent of/from the Sea, a sea serpent
{DeSDu' law' ghajbogh bIQ'a'vo' Ha'DIbaH'a'}
- "the Great Beast from the Sea with Many Arms", giant squid
{yoD qengtaHbogh bIQ'a'vo' Ha'DIbaH}
- "the Beast from the Sea who Carries a Shield", seaturtle
