Yes, that's exactly what I also thought.

You are listing several ideas how this word might have grown, and all of 
these seem possible. That's what makes klingon so interesting, IMHO. 
Although a constructed language, there really IS some kind of natural 
growth in it. Maybe not a real, existing culture, but all of these tiny 
riddles make the language so interesting, make it feel real.

Going back to real life, Marc Okrand has said several times that he did 
not think that anyone would ever have such a close look at the 
dictionary, so he didn't think very much about the meaning of every 
single word.
