>No.  The word for {Qo'noS} is {Qo'noS}.  "Klin" is apparently a city or

>history).  {tlhIngan} is more a statement of culture than of residence.

Also, the name of the Klingon homeworld wasn't decided on until Star Trek VI.
 Before that, it was often referred to as "Kling."  Perhaps {tlhIngan} was
once {tlhIngngan} in Old Klingon, but since then it has been shortened.

Just a little bit of unauthorized speculation by yours truly.
