Yeah.  It's yet another name which ends in {-wI'}.  I honestly think that 
Klingons just don't use this suffix in their names!  Has there been a single 
Klingon on Star Trek who has?

But besides that, putting {-lu'} and {-wI'} together just doesn't make any 
sense to me.  {-lu'} means the subject is indefinite or general, whereas 
{-wI'} means that whatever is the subject of the verb is what the word is 
referring to!  It's NOT indefinite!

"One who is trusted" would be {nuv voqlu'bogh}.
