I'm usually wary of extrapolation because of insufficient information.
In this case, however, I'm pretty sure that the information we do have
about {bochmoHwI'} tells us that what you're trying to do doesn't work.

KGT page 145 says {bochmoHwI'} comes from {'etlh bochmoHwI'}, meaning
that the object of the shining isn't a person but a blade.  It's a very
close parallel to the term "apple polisher" in English.
