> Part of speech: noun
> Definition:     sphere

As used in canon:

moQDaq DuQwI'Hommey jej tu'lu' 
A brutally spiked pommel fastens the hilt together. (SP2)

KGT 61:  ... at the end of the knife's handle ({ret'aq}) there is a spiked pommel, called simply {moQ} ("sphere").

{moQ} also appears in the new TalkNow! word lists:

wovmoHwI' moQ   light bulb 
QujmeH moQ      ball 


SPECULATION ALERT:

If a sphere is hollow - and that is what you're stressing - you might call it a {pel'aQ} "shell".  E.g. a variation of the Dyson sphere is called a Dyson shell.
