chaq <<ghor>> Dalo'laH.
Maybe you could do something with <ghor> "surface (of a planet)":

tInchoHtaHvIS luSpet ghor, ghurchoH luSpet Hat.
"As the surface area of a black hole gets larger, its temperature begins to 
increase."

luSpetmey vIyajchu'be', 'ach chaq qechvam Dalo' DaneH.
I don't know much about black holes :) but maybe this is the kind of thing 
you are after.

'ej chaq "volume" DelmeH <<logh tebbogh>> Dalo'laH. (qarchu'be' 'e' vISov, 
'ach QaplaH'a'?)
For volume, maybe <logh tebbogh>, "the space which it fills". (I know <logh> 
is strictly "outer space", but would it nonetheless work?)

Savan.
