Re: if not {pemHov},...

pemHov, juHHov, Hov'a', ... and whatever else we can come up with that is based 
on Hov works ok for MODERN people; but before the sciences developed people did 
not know that the sun was merely another star.  Do you believe that klingons, 
from the beginning of their existance, knew that the big bright thing in the 
daytime sky was just another one of those tiny specks of light in the night 
sky?  They surely would have come up with a name for it before science told 
them it was merely another speck of light.  And after they found out, would 
they have stopped using the old name their ancestors used?  Yeah, it is 
possible.

These constructions can function, but they are not the word for "sun".
