Used in canon:
Suy' SoH
You are a *shooy*. KGT
KGT 196: Calling someone a {Suy'} is quite derogatory, comparable to using the word "pig" in Federation Standard. Mistakenly calling someone a {Suy} ("merchant") when the intent is to be insulting and call him or her a {Suy'} will have the effect of making the speaker appear to be foolish and, therefore, weak and hardly in a position to be ridiculing someone else.
PUN:
"Soo-eey!" (the stereotypical pig-call) or "suet"?
