Do you recall if {HatlhHurgh} was where Kamarag's estate was located? If
so, we have a nice cluster of three place names to add to our minimal
knowledge of Kronos geography.
{tengchaH jav} is our only other use of {tengchaH} "space station,
spaceport" other than {logh Hop Hut tengchaH} "Space Station Deep Space
Nine. This shows that DS9 is called a {tengchaH} because of its function
(a spaceport), not because of its appearance (a large orbiting structure).
