That is forgiveable: Transliterations are notorious in
mangling languages, and there is nothing unreasonable
in seeing the name printed "Par'mach" and assuming it
is say, "parmach".
As lenient as I am on the rest of the Paramount derived
Hol, I wouldn't encourage ANYONE to make an effort at
deciphering what was in this show. GIVE them dramatic license.
It worked for the show, and I thought it was
a terrific episode.
*AND* now we really have a word for "(romantic) love".
