Yes.

I don't really know when all these naming conventions took root, my guess is probably during Mataram. The very simple dhapurs and pamors seem to be pretty constant in the naming used, but the the more complex ones vary a lot. Its probably always best to qualify whatever name we use. I don't always do this, but I should try to get into the habit, Trouble is I mostly write off the top of my head, from memory, I'm too lazy to try to find a reference to substantiate everything I say --- and often I cannot in any case.
