KGT 141f.:  On other occasions, a name is a Klingon version of the name used not by the natives of a planet but by another alien culture. Thus, {romuluS} (Romulus) is based on the Federation name of the planet; the actual Romulan name is something quite distinct. ... No one ever says {romuluSya'} 

romuluS Ha'DIbaH 
Romulan dog! KGT (epithet)

muyIv romuluS Ha'DIbaH 
The Romulan dog irks me. KGT

romuluS yo' wIjeyta'
