This should be *{lom Hov} "corpse star" or even *{lomHov}.  It's a type of star, not a type of corpse.  Compare the various ship types:  HIvDuj, may'Duj, qughDuj, SuyDuj, toDDuj, tongDuj, toQDuj, tlharghDuj, veQDuj, veSDuj, etc.  

But more importantly, how is this better than {Dejpu'bogh Hov} "collapsed star"?

  Dejpu'bogh Hov rur qablIj 
  Your face looks like a collapsed star! (PK)

You could say *{Dejpu'bogh HovHom} for the smaller variety if you really need to.
