I'd like to believe that; I wouldn't mind losing "quH" as a word in favor
of "qun" since the meanings work so well. But "H" is an unlikely typo
(though h for n is more likely). I think this is a proceed-with-caution
situation (like most are, to me). I'm not willing to dismiss it as a typo
offhandedly just yet.
