I know it's based on nothing and just my feeling:

I think that due to its length, {voDleH} sounds a lot more "majestic",
more formal. The word {ta'} sounds like an everyday speech word, that is
problably used m ore often in daily speech.

All of this is just theory of course. I probably feel the same in
English, where "King" sounds less important to me than "The Emperor".

Since I liked the sound and the uniqueness of the word, I translated
"King" with {voDleH} in "The Little Prince".
