<div dir="ltr">In fact, {qaryoq} and {qaryoq'a'} probably aren't derived from karaoke, but most likely from Disney's cartoon character José Carioca:<br><br><a href="http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs7/f/2006/347/3/c/Jose_Carioca_by_Daniel_Venice.jpg">http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs7/f/2006/347/3/c/Jose_Carioca_by_Daniel_Venice.jpg</a><br>

I wouldn't be surprised to find that a few of these were birds of prey as well.<br>
<br>
*{cherwItlh} - I've never heard of this, where is it from?<br>
<br>
I know the origins (puns, jokes, etc.) behind these bird words:<br>
{bo'Degh} - bird, general term (Bodega Bay)<br>
{cha'bIp} - Road Runner (beep beep)<br>
{cha'Do'} - dodo<br>
{cha'qu'} - cuckoo<br>
{Da'nal} - Donald Duck<br>
{Da'vI'} - Daffy Duck<br>
{lIr} - owl (Edward Lear)<br>
{notqa'} - raven (nevermore)<br>
{parbIng} - under par, birdie (golf)<br>
{qanraD} - Conrad Birdie<br>
{qaryoq}, {qaryoq'a'} - Karaoke<br>
{qa'rol} - Big Bird (Caroll Spinney)<br>
{qISa'ruj} - raptor (Jurassic) (possibly not a bird)<br>
{ramjep} - midnight bird (no known pun, just the word for midnight)<br>
{toQ} - bird of prey (no known pun, back derived from {toQDuj})<br>
{vem'eq} - early bird (wakes up early, gets the worm)<br>
{vIlInHoD} - parrot (Cap'n Flint)<br>
{'uSgheb} - leghorn chicken<br>
<br>
Does anyone know the puns behind these ones?<br>
{borghel} - a very small bird whose eggs are tasty<br>
{cha'naS} - a small bird which digs up bugs to eat<br>
{cha'par} - a bird notes for its song<br>
{lotlhmoq} - a bird that swoops into the water in order to catch food,<br>
but cannot swim<br>
{raw'} - an aquatic bird with colourful plumage<br>
{yatqap} - a grey (sometimes white) bird that can travel particularly<br>
long distances without pausing<br>
<br>
I suspect, since so many of the bird names are puns, jokes, or<br>
references, that in fact all of them are.<br>
