Aha

Apparently some people can take a joke. The people of Kmer or Kemer are what we and the Greeks call Egyptians. For the ancient Egyptians, a pun was considered the highest form of humor. A common example was a hand held mirror in the shape of an ankh; the word ankh means "life" (who is reflected but the living person looking in?), but it also translated as "mirror," thus an ankh-shaped hand mirror was also literally a mirror of life.

Ibn is Arabic meaning "son of," so you might imagine what his home life was like growing up.

For many in today's world, puns are a form of punishment (and yes, pun fully intended). Leading scholars (i.e., pundits) are of mixed thought on the subject. For those sick of those type of jokes, a doctor may recommend punicillin. Out of consideration of the cries of agony I now hear, I will quit puntificating now. Slainte'

Yep

And that's why the dwarves have a bounty on the head of Ibn Punacious.
