No, you haven't made a mistake. {joy'} is from TKD, but {be'joy'} is from
the novel "Sarek", by Ann C. Crispin (but according to the preamble to the
novel, the term {be'joy'} was apparently provided or at least okayed by
Okrand). One would naturally anticipate a noun form *{joy'} "torture", but
no such noun has (yet) been attested AFAIK.
