If all you know is the movie, you might find a Klingon translation of the original story somewhat surprising. The movie leaves out a lot, even as it adds nuances which I think greatly improve the overall tale.

Anyway, in the book it's just "Aunt Em" with no endearment apparent. Dorothy speaks to her only once, in the very last paragraph. She does refer to her aunt and uncle by name several times throughout the story, though.
