Aahaahaa!  That's hysterical.

It follows the pattern of other compounds like this, so that seems fine if you want one word for it.  Krrä Eyktan ("leader/lord of time") would also work, I suppose.

Brilliant!

Hmm, I wonder what "allons-y" would be... :P

It occurs to me that the word tsulfätu might make sense here, instead of eyktan.  Do we think "lord" in "Time Lord" is a title of political power, or does it merely mean time lords have control over time?

Muzer

I think it's the latter.

Yes, but it doesn't have the same feel as allons-y :P

Though makto ko ma Alonso still sounds good ;)

Arguably both; they have no inherent power to change time, only natural abilities in terms of understanding/ observation. (their ability to control it comes via technology). Is a difficult question xD

I think Ektan is more appropriate than tsulfätu
