Klingon Hommey

As I wrote earlier, I am trying to learn the Klingon language. Today, I caught up on Planet Debian postings and saw one of my fellow developer's name in a completely new light: Hommey is interpretable as Klingon. Hom means 'a bone', and -mey is the general pluralizer. Normally Hom would be pluralized by -Du', because it's a body part, but when -mey is used, it implies that the bones are used not as parts of a body but in some other usage (as weapons or something like that). In a poetic context, Hommey can also mean bones scattered all about.
