Well, why not? Read as a name, it sound like "Sherman-planet".

And for {HuDyuQ}, there is no doubt. Marc Okrand explains in TKD how to make compound nouns, so 
{HuD} "mountain" + {yuQ} "planet" 
= {HuDyuQ} "mountainplanet"
is completely legal.

Of course one might doubt what a {De'naQ} is, but {HuDyuQ} is clearly a "mountain-planet".

But my question concerns more the other words. Do we accept these as canon now?? Are they listed in the KLI's new word list? Can I use them, and expect others to know them? Do you know them at all?

Quvar.
