[tlhIngan Hol] SIp yuQ'a' chu' tu'lu'pu'

[Ed Bailey]

It's two very different situations, based on travel. Planets of other stars
are impossible for us to visit, and difficult to observe, hence
"exoplanet." Klingons can visit them, and may have better means of
observation.

They would also look for planets beyond the limits of their travels, up to
the very limits of their technology, if they cared to. Their "exoplanets"
would be yuQmeyHey, until confirmed as yuQmeyna'. Maybe a supposed
planetary observation would be challenged as a yuQqoq.
