Pakled Vocabulary and Translation

Just a general thing:

Every federation ship to them is 'enterprise.'
'Look! Another Enterprise!'

Every female starfleet captain is Janeway.

Question is do they actually think every ship is enterprise, or is that just translation error. Their word for federation ship is literally 'Enterprise'? That is the first example of a new thing, becomes their word for that Thing. Essentially the literal definitive version of what it is to them and because the federation treats them as Stupid (they aren't exactly Bright Bulbs,) they just never bothered updating the universal translators?

Furthermore one could expand that into their general vocabulary. 'Romdar Smart.' Maybe their vocabulary lacks additives or Pronouns?
