I doubt "exoplanet" is a thing in Klingon. They're just "planets." -- SuStel http://trimboli.name

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. -- De'vID
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.
