When I got home I double-checked HolQeD 4.3 p.4 where cards S7-S9 were
published. There is indeed a period after {SuvwI'pu'} though this may have
been a typo. There's another typo three words later where Lawrence omitted
a space: {jItnISlopwI'}. This sentence certainly makes more sense with a
comma. Anyone actually have this card?
