pne: A picture of a plush toy, halfway between a duck and a platypus, with a green body and a yellow bill and feet. (Default)

Occasionally I see a metal fence with a little sign on it saying that it was produced by Gawron & Co.; whenever I see that sign, I think of Klingon ghawran (Gowron).

And whenever I see the name of Doha, the capital of Qatar, I have to think of Do'Ha' (“unfortunately” or “to be unfortunate or unlucky”).

Does anyone else have interesting other-language associations with words they come across?
