I see now that there are quite some internet sites where this question has been tackled.
I get the impression that the Yemenite theory is not very heavily supported by evidence material.
Still, it would probably be the only time in Yes where Anderson made a word up, isn't it?
I hope you can all get a good night's sleep without knowing for sure what a Khatru is.
Some Yes fans had their imagination running wild at the word: http://www.yesfans.com/archive/index.php/t-1930.html .

You get it wrong: "khatru" is just a bad translation of French word 'quatrain' (a form of poem) pronounced by a guy from Northern England.

That... actually makes a lot of sense, kinda like the title of that movie Reservoir Dogs. Now, if only we could find out what the hell a relayer is. LOL

Khatru is the place where Dr. Seuss went to bring back an itkutch, a preep, a proo, a nerkle, a nerd and a seersucker too.
 
Apparently it's in Siberia.  No word on whether any of the aforementioned beasties go through the motions.

Khatru is part of what Ash says in Army of Darkness when he picks up the Necronomicon.

You know, Khatru Verratha Nictu......
