I actually find a sort of perverse humor in the fact that we discovered the
word {tuq} immediately after _Hamlet_ was published. I'm not sure whether
or not {mI'} showed up in time to make it into _paghmo' tIn mIS_, but I'd
be similarly amused if it didn't.
*I* think enough work was done on Hamlet. It's not perfect. There are
certainly more appropriate words available now, and I've noticed a couple
of places where the grammar is a bit odd. (I haven't given much thought
to changing it without losing the iambic pentameter, though.) But let's
not start trying to second-guess it just yet, okay?
