Staying "in the game", it might be possible that this word is a shortened form of an antique phrase, maybe {Dogh jeywI'} or something like that.
The same could have happened with {QongmeH Daq}, which now is {QongDaq}.
[that's not canon, it's just me saying that ;-)]
And what about {HIvDuj}? Probably also from {HIvmeH Duj}.
All just theoretically spoken...
