Heh. Yes, that is part if the reason. But also because it translates nicely.

'IwtlhutlhwI'! Talk about groovy, your name is a palindrome! Is that why you
chose it?

Choke-gas is actually a pretty good translation of the danish word for
nitrogen. Thus, I think this holds. In Danish it is 'kvalstof', kvale =
strangle or choke, stof = substance.

I was looking up a word and noticed <bIQSIp> as hydrogen. water-gas. cool.
then I found <yInSIp> as oxygen. life-gas. groovy.
<voQSIp> is nitrogen, but choke-gas doesn't fit the pattern, as we breath it
and it makes up a great deal of our atmosphere.
Or does it? although it's not poisonous, it won't support oxygen
breathers,
and causes "the bends" under pressure. Are there any more substances that
follow a similar pattern? pIl'o'
