So you think all measurements on {Qo'noS} are in reference to {veng wa'DIch}, 
huh?

I don't.  If you're in {veng wa'DIch}, that would do just fine, but what if 
you're *starting* in {voSpegh}?

Okrand says in KGT (pp. 16-17):

"southwest of the First City -- to use directional terms familiar to speaks of 
Federation Standard"

This suggests to me that the Klingon system of directions works differently 
than our north-south-east-west system.  It *could* be what you suggest, but we 
have no way of knowing that.

Besides, that system is only useful on Qo'noS.
