No, those are {no' Hol}:

    We know that the name of the book itself, {paq'batlh}, is some form
    of {no'Hol}. It is grammatically backwards from what we find in
    modern Klingon (where it would be {batlh paq} or "honor book"). The
    character we are rendering with an apostrophe in {paq'batlh} may be
    a clue to some missing grammatical element in {no' Hol} that may
    explain the transposition of the words. The same hesitancy goes for
    the subparts of the text. The rendering of the {no' Hol} words into
    roman letters is meant to mimic the system used to transliterate
    modern Klingon, but further study may show that another romanization
    system may be more revealing.

The chapter headings, on the other hand, are {ta' Hol}.
