Me too, which is why I mentioned it.  I was surprised to discover that in 
light of the BOP poster, I had misunderstood {buv}.

In fact, when people asked what I did at the University of Chicago I 
usually told them simply, {paqmey qub vIbuS} "I classify rare books", 
meaning that I catalog them.  (Now it sounds like I work for the 
CIA!)  Well, I suppose I can still say that {memvaD paqmey qub 
vIpoj/vIDel/vigher} "I analyze/describe/compile rare books for the catalog".
