1. nub'a' nubwI'?

nub - v - be suspect
nubwI' - n  predecessor
nung - v - precede 

In German, a predecessor can be either K'mpec, preceding Gowron, but also your Grandfather is a 
predecessor.
But since Marc Okrand gave us even two words for ancestor/s {qempa', no'} I'd say that {nubwI'} 
refers only to political predecessor.

But did he slip the line?
  {nubwI'} sounds like "someone who is suspect"
  "predecessor" should be {nungwI'}

is it not?

2. Is pemHov canon, or only used in Hamlet?

Quvar 'utlh.
