Based on the Kolinahr scene from TMP, I think *Supoq* or perhaps even *SupoQ* would have been a good way to go.

By the way, the article suggests that there's an accompanying video, but I can't see it on any device. Can anybody else see it? Wondering if it might be region blocked.
I don’t know why he didn’t: * {Supaq} or even * {SIpaq} work. The real problem for Okrand may well have been how to render “Mister” – a general title used when addressing officers other than the ship’s Captain. {joH}, {qaH} and {yaS} don’t quite work.

1. I don't know, but have we heared the canon translation for ST3 yet?
{Hov leng wej: Spock nejlu'} it is.
2. {vulqan Hol jatlhlaHmeH Mr. Spock, vIghojmoHta'} is a nice recast for "I have tought Mr. Spock to speak Vulcan." I think some people would have struggled to translate that or at least wondered how to say.
Also noteworthy, there is no attempt to transliterate Spock, as there was with {qIrq}. I expect there never will be.
