Skybox 1 has (among other sentences) the following phrase:

{juHqo' Qo'noSvo' loghDaq lengtaHvIS tlhInganpu'} with the translation
"..expansion of the klingon people from their homeworld of kronos into
space.."

Shouldn't the "from their homeworld of kronos" be given as {Qo'noS
juHqo'vo'} instead of {juHqo' Qo'noSvo'} ?
Not really. juHqo' Qo'noSvo' is just an example of apposition. From Kronos, the homeworld.

What's interesting about this to me is that a -vo' isn't added to both words. If I were writing this sentence I would have said juHqo'vo' Qo'noSvo'.

Without knowing beforehand what {Qo'noS} was, I'd have interpreted this to mean that {Qo'noS} was a part of {juHqo'}.

Compare, e.g., {tera'vo' qa'naDa'vo'...} and {*juHSep qa'naDa'vo'}.
