I get a mental image of Okrand attaching {rar} some papers {nav} together with a paper clip {mavjop} after suffering from writer's cramp {ngav} while working on the manuscript {ghItlh} of his new dictionary {mu'ghom}. Then, sitting in his pajamas {nIvnav} and taking a break {yev}, he adds some saccharine {HaQchor} to his coffee {qa'vIn} and nibbles {noS} on a pickle {Hurgh} before getting back to work {vumqa'}. <g>
(Although I must admit we have seen Worf and Alexander wearing pajamas in TNG more than once!)
