I was just going to say this same thing ... parmach will be an illegal word
for myself until Okrand pipes up with a "yea or nay" but as for the
spelling, everyone has seen it written as part of an ENGLISH sentence ...
Another example of exactly the same thing ...
TKW, page 103 -- qutluch is spelled as kut'luch for the english speakers
just for convinience of understanding.
