maybe {Hov} is broader in meaning than simple "star", so that it could be 
used for "sun". 
i like QeS lagh's {Hov'a'}.  but by the same token, ALL of the {Hov} words 
for "sun" would fit as well, IF {Hov} means something more like "aster" (of 
greek etymology), i.e., any glowing heavenly body seen from a planet surface.  
even in english people still typically call the planets stars when they look up 
at the sky. it's only when they want to distinguish between the stars and 
planets that they get more specific.  it's only when you out to other stars and 
planets that the distinction becomes critical.
how can "{Hov'a'} pagh {Hov'a'}be'?" be said using good grammar?
