I just noticed a possible origin/pun for "pudding" {wIlpuq}, if we parse it as:<br>{*wIl} + {puq} --> Wil+child --> Wilson<br><br>There's a Mark Twain book/character named "Pudd'nhead Wilson":<br>

I doubt that is what Okrand had in mind. I guess that it's a reference to a child named Will who is associated with pudding in some way.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"></font></span><br></blockquote></div>
