Oooowwwch! No, I can't. I never noticed that before. At the moment I
think I'm going to have to cop out and say it's either clipped or a
mistake. Yow. That's a strange one. I think it can be said to be
clipping, since we also have "?lujpu' jIH" without the -'e', which we know
really should have "jI-".
