We can have still more fun: DAGUL of Song of Songs 5:10 is actually
DAG UL, 'top fish'.

Notice also how near כנדגלות KA-NI-DGAL-OT is to כנשגלות KA-NI-$GAL-OT.
But this is no fun, rather the magic of Hebrew.

The Jewish Publication Society 1917 Holy Scriptures translates Song of Songs 6:4 and 10 as "...terrible as an army with banners (kaf nun dalet gimel lamed vav tav)."

Other translations also say "banners".

Here is a wild guess for fun: maybe it could say "...frightening like (kaf)a wandering (nun dalet) of exile (gimel lamed vav tav)."
