There was some disagreement about "compound nouns".  More pointedly,
whether or not you could make them yourself.  /juHqo'/ is obviously a
compound noun made up of /juH/ "home" and /qo'/ "world".  However, it
appears AS a compound noun in the dictionary (the ST VI addendum).

Whether or not ?/juHpuH/ is a legal word is still unclear.  I would be
inclined to continue to use the noun-noun construction, so it would be
/juH puH/.  Depending on the context, /juHwIj puH/, or /juHmaj puH/,
"land of my home" or "land of our home"...
