Actually, "Terran" is <tera'ngan> - one <r>. The reason it is <tera'ngan> is
that the Klingon name for "Earth" is <tera'> - with a last letter of <'>. In
Klingon, the <'> is a full fledged letter, just like <t> or <Q> or <tlh>.

The name for an inhabitant of Earth is <tera'> plus <ngan>, so it has a <'>.
<beyjor> does not have a <'>, so the word for "Bajoran", which is just
<beyjor> plus <ngan>, does not have a <'>.
