Puns I've noticed (I think)

I've noticed many of the experts on this list mention that Okrand has built many puns into the language, and I think I'm beginning to see.
These are the least obvious (to me) that I've noticed, and I wonder if anyone else has noticed them, or if they are simply personal mnemonics:
{tlhov}
Play on "clove". Clove cigarettes will make you wheeze.
{tlhoy}
Play on English verb "To cloy".
{ghotI'}
From George Bernard Shaw quote regarding the spelling of "fish".
