>Doy'yuS< = Troyius. The rhotacized t is similar to the Klingon
retroflex D in passing... Presumably the Klingon name is closer to the
true Troyian name. The rest of the Hol name is parallel to the English.
>QI'tomer< = Khitomer
>QI'tu'<? = Paradise/Vorta Vor/whatever was the name of the world Sybok
sought in ST5:The Phineal Frontier.... >QI'< means military:: presumably
a Klingon would think of a military heaven as a paradisic place! :-)
I believe that given >Qo'noS< also beginning with /Q/ that when MO was
presented with Khitomer to "Hol"ize, that he made it parallel to QI'tu',
hence ST6:The Undiscovered Retread's (Camp) Khitomer becomes >QI'tomer<
instead of the >HI'tomer< we may have expected.... Since Khitomer is
supposed to be a military base, the >QI'< part makes a LOT of sense here.
>'orghen rojmab< = Organian Peace Treaty literally, Organia's Peace-Treaty.
What's so weird about that? It's not >'orghengan...< because it is a
peace treaty done at Organia, not a peace treaty for/belonging to
Organi*ans*... BTW, I teach >rojmab< as being suggestive of "roadmap"...
Kind of a roadmap to peace....
