Any ideas on “exoplanet”?  *{yuQ Hop} - patterned on {logh Hop} “deep space” – or do we use a circumlocution, e.g. {Sol Hovtay’ HurDaq yuQ} “planet outside the Solar System”?  

I doubt "exoplanet" is a thing in Klingon. They're just "planets."

If we were situated on {Qo'noS}, I'd understand {yuQmey Sum} as planets within the same system, and {yuQmey Hop} as "exoplanets". But if we were in space, then I wouldn't understand those terms with those meanings as the deictic centre would have changed.
