Klingon word: 	SaHa'ra'
Part of speech:	noun
Definition: 	Sahara (Earth desert)
Source: 	The Little Prince [TLP]
_______________________________________________

(TLP [page ref.?]):  In Arabic, the Sahara desert is called *aṣ-ṣaḥrāʼ al-kubrá*, meaning the Great Desert. If the Klingon version came from Arabic, it would be something along those lines. But Maltz says Klingons got the name from Federation Standard, which is why it is pronounced {SaHa'ra'}.

Lieven, how are {SaHa'ra'}, {Do'ol} and {Do'ol HuD} used in The Little Prince?
