Here's a clue for those who may be looking for a Klingon term for
"street," (as in "asphalt construction for wheeled vehicles"). It
comes from a language very close to my heart.
The Welsh word for "street" is the same word for "road". It's spelt
ffordd
(where the "ff" is pronounced as in the "ph" in _Philip_, and the "dd"
is pronounced like the "th" sound in the word _the,_ so the
pronunciation looks like:
"phorth"
The word "ffordd" also means "path" or "direction."
Klingon doesn't have words for "path," "street" or "road," but while we
have a word for "course," we also have a word for "direction;"
lurgh direction (n)
Perhaps, by looking at solutions from outside the English
language, we may come across novel (but still legitimate) uses for
Klingon words which can serve until Marc Okrand decides on the
"official" term. So I'd offer these terms as possible solutions
(albeit temporary solutions until something official comes along):
He course (n)
lurgh direction (n)
BTW, there is another English term for "road," and that is "highway."
Aren't there English words synonymous with "way?" As in "course" or
"direction?"
