Due to the amount of typographical errors in the early books such as TKD, I
suspect that a lack of diligence in following only one set of standards has
resulted in anomalies. Whether the correct spelling in the "real" tlhIngan
Hol orthography results in one or more words remains to be seen. These
inconsistencies exist; I don't try to talk about them; I just use what we
have been given.
