First, I'm terribly embarassed about the /pa'/ mistake. I tried to be
very meticulous with the lexicon, as anyone who closely examines the
curses listed in TKD will notice. I've corrected it now and posted a new
lexicon to the website (with a few other minor corrections, too) (though
I haven't updated the text on the web page yet).
The other terms (/naDev/, /Dat/, /vogh/, etc.) are correctly listed. It
appears to have been an isolated catastrophe.

And, always check TKD before relying on /pojwI'/ as a definitive source.
It's not. I've tried my best, and I do continually update the lexicon.
But I don't think it'll ever be *perfect*.
