Presumably you derived *{puch} "to wash" from "washroom". But just
because English-speaking Terrans euphemistically call it a "wash"-room
doesn't mean that Klingons do so. I interpreted your use of *{puch}
as a verb meaning something like "to defecate", and then thought that
{bI[Q] vInobnIS} must mean something like "I need to pee"!
