    The authors follow \textit{M. Khovanov}'s construction for categorification of the coloured Jones polynomial [J. Knot Theorty Ramifications 14, No.~1, 111--130 (2005; Zbl 1083.57019)] but using a specialization of the link homology theory of \textit{D. Bar-Natan} [Geom. Topol. 9, 1443--1499 (2005; Zbl 1084.57011)] and colorings by representations of \(U_{q}(sl_2)\). Explicit computations which would have required calculations on cables with their many crossings are thereby simplified.
