I just noticed that Sol isn't a canon Klingon term. However, in this case, "Sol" might still be appropriate, although it's not the common English name for our sun. "Sun" rather seems to be the word for "main star of a planet" or something like that, so the Klingons would call their home star "sun" in English as well, I suppose. "Sol" is a scientific term for the sun, sometimes also used in English. — André 01:38, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- I agree using "Sol", because it is a scientific name for the sun. When writing an article about a sun, meaning the start of a solar sytem, that article should be either "sun" or "pemHov" or anything similar.
- P.S.: That's why tha planet names are listed in Latin. Please keep it like that.

- Alright, then you'd have to change the planet names back to Latin again. I wonder why Latin, though. The Latin names aren't the scientific names for them, and the Romans weren't the first ones who discovered them either. I guess, the question of naming falls into the same category as country and language names. Just that there is no native Martian word for 'Mars'. :D
- Another idea: In Star Trek planets are often named after their stars plus the number of the planet, so Mars would be "Sol-4" (or "Sol 4" or "Sol IV" or "Sol loS" or something). That would be most neutral, most scientific, but least recognizable. — André 12:36, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Latin because after English, latin is the main language used in science. Sol is latin too, I believe. But this is actually not sooo important now. I can live with english, since we have agreed to use mainly english for foreign words. -- Lieven 12:48, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
