sheep = mouton > mutton
tribble = yIH > yique
"Tribble" "Tribblefleisch"
Q. Voulez-vous some yique-on-a-stique? (yIH)
A. I mash my yique tartare. (maS)
The alternate spelling "yick" survives in colloquial
expressions like "all-yick BBQ", "deep-fried yick rinds"
and "sweet-and-sour yick".
For a time, there was an alternate pronunciation:
yiche. But real men don't eat yiche.
yIH: it's all in how you look at it.
