Other regions have names that are distinct from the names of any districts
or cities within them, such as the large {Sa'Qej Sep} ("Sakrej region"),
several thousand kilometers east of the First City. The origins of most
Klingon place names are not known, having been lost to history. Sometimes,
however, the meaning of a place name is clear, such as the Sakrej region's
{HuD beQ yoS} ("Flat Mountain district")... (KGT p.17)
This region is the source of many odd pronunciations and grammar, some of
which have been more widely adopted as slang. Cf. KGT pp.24-26 for details.
