Yet another Pun?

Has anyone commented on the possible pun in the new word wuD (from the
December HolQeD)? There's a common joke about snorers in an American idiom-
they "saw wood" . This is using a tool to cut wood pieces, not the verb "to
see". Think of breathing in as one sound and out as another and it seems to
sound like a rhythmic sawing of wood. I wonder if wuD is the "wood" being
snored (uh, "sawed"), it's the first thing I thought of when I said it
aloud.
