When I see Hov'a' I think of a Red Giant while HovHom would be a Brown or White
Dwarf. I don't see why we don't just use Sun. It's a proper noun, a name, so
shouldn't it be treated like one?
With other named stars we just use the name (reghuluS/Regulus for example), so
why don't we just use Sun/Sol?
I guess the problem arises when we want to talk about the Star around Qo'noS,
and over the years I've seen it named many things, from Klinzhai to Kronos
(there is a reference to the Kronos System on StarTrek.com). I do believe that
the star will have a proper name and only Maltz can tell us what it is (and I'm
guessing from past observations that Marc may wait until Paramount has given it
a name before telling us what it is). Maybe Qo'noS Hov is a good filler for
now.
