For clarity, weQqul is here referring to {pojwI'}.

All this means is that {pojwI'} found {chenmoH} in its lexicon, and so as
far as it knows it's a complete root.  Adding the suffix {-nIS} to this root
is not perceived by {pojwI'} to be an error.

However, we know that the words that are listed in TKD as roots + suffixes
are just that (with the notable exception of {lo'laH}).  So, even though
{pojwI'} does not indicate that {chenmoHnIS} is an error, we know better.
