Because most klingonists are afraid of creating their "own" compound 
nouns.  {naQjej} is a canon noun, so you can add any suffix. If you want 
{naQHom jej}, you should at least leave a space so you don't produce a 
new word. I prefer {naQHom jej}, because I'm not sure if {naQjej} really 
is a true noun from the klingon point of view.
