Shouldn't this preferably be {bIQ puH} instead of {bIQpuH} ?

We don't have a word for continent although I once found *{Hatlh'a'} used on the KLI's web site.  naHQun also suggested *{bIQpuH'a'} - as well as *{bIQpuH} "island".

(KGT 16):  The Klingon Homeworld {Qo'noS}, usually rendered Kronos in Federation Standard, is a planet with basically one very large mass of land surrounded by ocean; perhaps continent is a comparable concept.
