ruzuzu commented on the word jet-bugled
"She had a handsome head, nobly coiffured, an impressive figure, perfect vision, and perfect hearing. She dressed in the manner of the ladies in whose service she had passed her younger days--corseted, jet-bugled, and rustling in half a dozen petticoats."
--Theophilus North by Thornton Wilder.

Brackets around "Hahork" please. (Is the H always capitalized?)

Done. No, the h is never capitalized in hork, (except in extreme cases when the entire word is capitalized).
