[proposal] translation for directions.

Hi,

I just joined the e-mail list last night, so I don't know what is the
policy regarding new words. But here goes

I need to translate north, south, east and west.

I came up with the followings

north: jenHov   (high star)
south: jenHovQIb (high star shadow)
east: vemHov  (waking star)
west: QongHov (sleeping star)

I use star because I couldn't find a translation for sun. Maybe I
should use Hovmar (our star) instead of just Hov.


Would these be acceptable translations ?  Of course I realize that
they only make sense in a planer system like ours but N, S, E and W
also have the same limitations.

Thanks

Phil

PS  I started learning klingon 2 days ago... be gentle ;)
