Interesting. I've been using {puH'a'} for "continent" in my personal
writings.
The way I see it:
- {Hatlh} is "countryside" (as opposed to "city"). I would probably
interpret {Halth'a'} as "frontier", ie, a countryside so vast, it's almost
unexplored.
- {yav} is "ground" (as opposed to "sky"). I don't know what I'd make of
{yav'a'}.
- {puH} is "land" (as opposed to "sea"). Looking at a map of Kronos, we'd
only see {wa' puH} and {wa' bIQ'a'}. Looking at a map of Earth, we'd see
many {puHmey} and several {bIQ'a'mey}. Some of the {puHmey} are more
prominent, so we call them {puH'a'}.
Of course, this is just my own interpretation based on the English glosses.
Klingons might not use those word that way. Heck, even other English
speakers might disagree with my interpretation of the glosses.
