Conventionally, but there are exceptions. For instance, the Ferengi
homeworld is Ferenginar, but the {tlhIngan Hol} word is {verengan},
rather than {verengInarngan}. So, its a safe bet that the Klingon word
for Betazoid would be something along the lines of {betaSeDngan}, but we
really can't be sure. I agree that the one should simply put
"Betazed"-ngan until we know for sure.
