I think that {betaSe'ngan} is the most usable of the ones we've
come up with so far. Of course it might be something else altogether.
Remember that these are the DIvI' Hol names for the planets, not the
inhabitants own names for them. We know from various ST canon that
the romuluSnganpu' call their planet ch'Rihan. Just to stir the pot,
I'm going to suggest {yab yotwI'pu'} for "Betazoid". :)
