Still, {martaq} is not in the word list at the end of KGT. He
mentions the name in the body text, not the dictionary, so it is
not inappropriate to note the word as a proper name, especially
for beginners who may attempt to look up the name and not find
it in the word list. SuStel is sensitive to this, having so
recently been BG for such a long time.
