You should probably separate them. Any time we have a Klingon
something-or-other, we see things like {tlhIngan Hol} and {tlhIngan Hubbeq).
Would this change for Terra? Would it only work for words like {tera'ngan}
or maybe {Human}? I think you should say {tera' jar} and {tera' jaj}.
Besides, the translation "Terra's month," or "month of Terra," works just
fine.
