Note: the word 'jath' is probably the most common translation problem outsiders have in the Dominions. It is one of the Codoj words whose meaning takes several paragraphs to explain to a non-native speaker. It refers to a characteristic of ship-states or the organisms composing them. So 'Coalition of Dominions of Jath' essentially means 'Group of governed places that have the quality of being jath'. The Codoj seem to have given up trying to explain the full meaning of the word. They do, however, insist that it is not singular, and sometimes laugh when people call them 'the Jath'.
