Borask?  Gurglegel?  See Rob?

What's a small bird whose eggs are tasty?  Quail, perhaps?

lotlh - rebel (verb)
moq - beat (something with an implement, such as to signal the start of a duel)

"Rebel Beat"?  Some kind of musical reference?  (There's a movie of
that name, but it's from 2007.)

> {raw'} - an aquatic bird with colourful plumage

Could it be as simple as just "ducks in a row"?  There are already
several duck-related words.
