Sure, why not? You only need to pay attention to the syllables and not
let autocorrect work for you.

DaHjaj tlhIngan-
pu' vIleghtaH-
mo' jIQuchqu'.

This is also attested in canon, eg. KGT p. 69 qab-Daj, p. 148: jI-Quch,
p. 149 Degh-wI', but it's not clear if that was a suggestion made by
Okrand, as it also has mistakes: p. 107: jaghpu-'Daj

I doubt that Okrand had been involved in the formatting of the book, and
he has not written anything officially about cutting words - but after
all: why not?
