Klingons have four types of aunts to choose from:
me' aunt (mother's sister)
me'nal aunt (mother's brother's wife)
'e'mam aunt (father's sister)
'e'mamnal aunt (father's brother's wife)
Do we know what Auntie Em's exact relationship was to Dorothy? If {me'}, perhaps you could say *{me'oy} for "auntie": i.e. *{'em me'oy}. Azetbur put {-oy} on {vav} in ST6 so *{me'oy} is at least plausible, at least for a child.
BTW I saw the Rosalind Russell version of "Auntie Mame" this weekend and Mame was indeed the boy's father's sister which leads me to suspect that Em is Dorothy's mother's sister.
