Yes and no. I can't find my old notes (I think I
cleaned house after I finished the last Kliflash
version and threw them out), so I can't cite my
source, but I remain convinced that both {jIn} and
{Qompu'} are legitimate, Okrand-created words. I trust
myself and simply can't believe that I misunderstood
or misinterpreted something to the point of making up
two whole new words.

I never kept track of sources in my work because the
sources don't really matter to me.  I trusted myself
enough not to add a word to my lexicon if I didn't
trust the source.  I always figured that the books,
HolQeD, the e-mail archives and Voragh could provide
sources when needed. 

I didn't think that providing sources was my function
in writing Kliflash. I made the promise that the words
were all canon, and until now, no-one has ever doubted
me. But I did include a notes function if sources were
important to others, so they could add them.

So, I can't prove {jIn} and {Qompu'} are canon, but I
believe they are.  Make of that what you will.  And,
absent any change in our information, that is the last
I will say about that.
