No, Klingons say {juHqo'}.

I tend to believe that Star Trek authors never thought about this as 
much as we do. I agree with the theory of importance. Do you remember 
the show/episode when humans found a planet, and called it "Earth Two"? 
So sometimes "prime" just refers to the most important planet of a 
system, or even an entire civilization, without regarding size, 
brightness or position. So if Terrans would ever find a second planet, 
their first planet remians "Terra prime".
