An apparent traitor. Might be a traitor, might not be. You can't quite tell.
}urlaw'wI'
One who apparently commits treason.
The difference is subtle. You are not sure if the {'urwI'Hey} is the one who
commits treason, and you aren't quite sure if what the {'urlaw'wI'} did was
treason. An {'urlaw'wI'} might also be read as one who is perceived to
commit treason.
