made from the freshly slain beast ghutar and Hota'ro' brought back
from the hunt.

SKI: Essim demonstrates dominance over Mossam, but is confused and
infuriated when Mahoun does not appreciate the gesture, and mocks her accent.

[207] That misplaced b is on purpose. It's a hypercorrection from
someone trying not to slip into a 'wrong' accent. Think about it: if
you've pronounced m and b both as m your whole life and then you move
somewhere you get mocked for not pronouncing b properly, you're
going to come out with a few inappropriate b sounds when you're
trying to get it right. And then a moment later she's drunk and angry
both at once so just lets it slide altogether.
