Other than {Dopvam} "this side" vs. {Dopvetlh} "that side" I can't think of a general solution.  In many languages "second" is often used for the other (of two), but I don't remember seeing {cha'DIch} used this way in Klingon.

You may have to get specific to the case in hand:  eg. {poS} left (side) vs. {nIH} right (side);  {yor} exterior top  vs. {pIrmuS} exterior bottom;  {'aqroS}  interior top vs. {bIS'ub} interior bottom;  {qoD} inside vs. {Hur} outside;  etc.

Hmm, interesting. The relatively recently revealed spatial noun {Hay} can be used to produce a rendition that I believe retains the imagery, but I agree that a way to say “the other” as opposed to “another” would be useful. Perhaps if there’s a way to say “only” in the sense of “the only, unique”, that might help.
