To add to the confusion:  In the ST6 novelization (p.22) the Klingon sun is 
called Amrita and in the "Star Trek Medical Reference Guide" (197-?) it's 
called Epsilon Sagittarius.  The latter is obviously the Terran/Starfleet 
astronomical designation, but Amrita may be the native name (or one of 
them, depending on which was the favored dialect when humans - or more 
likely the Vulcans, who added it to their famous database - first heard the 
word).  Since the novelizations were based on early versions of Paramount's 
script, we can consider it semi-canonical; it's not fully canon because the 
word was not heard in the final version of the movie.
