[yajbe'lu'chugh, jIQIj: It is an unfortunately common stereotype that
Jews <yuD> are dishonest, and Buddhists <buD>, esp. the monastics,
are often charged with being lazy. However, I believe these words
to be coincidental. I only noticed them because I was trying to write
something describing the (Terran) world religions, and transcribed
various words to see how they would sound to a Klingon.]

That might be it. There is at least one German pun in there, <DaS> "boot".
