Maybe you have overseen one important syllable, thisi not about spacing: =
The book is using the word {vo'ruv'etlh}, which looks like a bad =
translation for "sword OF justice", mistaking the suffix {-vo'} as "of, =
from". A literal correct translation for "sword of justice" is {ruv 'etlh}.
Since the word is printed in the AOW (KAW? TKAW?), Okrand probably =
avoided to say that it's a mistake because that might not be fair for =
the author.
