I haven't heard of Jackson Roykirk, but given the information you gave me, this seems to be an "Aha, this must be it!" pun explanation.
*qej* seems to be Jack backwards, as "jackpot" is rendered backwards as *tapqej* -- the word for a Klingon cherry, because getting three cherries means you've hit the jackpot!
