  What is wrong with "Kohav Lekhet", Jason?

  Also, is the new term "Rahav" really a good choice?
 The term is meant for current usage. Compare with
 'divrei rahav'.

  Now we just need a Hebrew word for "planet" specifically, as opposed
to "star." These were not "stars" that were named at all.

I know that there's כוכב לכת and פלנטה, but neither of these is really
satisfactory. What do you think?
