A question of pedantics

Was anyone surprised by the description of a singular Ramen as "Raman" within Runes? I always assumed that Ramen stood as singular as well as plural, at least it had done in previous Chronicles. My first instinct upon seeing "Raman " on the page was that it was a typo, however it appears more frequently as the book progresses.

Also, my copy has a few errors in the Glossary. Daphin has become Daphine, and the Questimoon is now apparently a favourable wine! Over-exuberance with the letter E I think.

Speaking of the Glossary, I noticed that there are individual entries for Melenkurion abatha, duroc, minas, mill and khabaal, naming them as six of the Seven Words.

I noticed this as well. I figure it is SRD's current editor's nitpick, as I do not believe it had occurred in previous books. It actually threw me for a loop when I first encountered it, because I was not expecting it.

Yeah. Although SRD had shared some of his thoughts on the Seven Words in the GI, none of the books had ever made it clear what each word was, whether a single word or a phrase. They have always been one of the most mysterious ways to use Earthpower.

I thought it was a printer's mistake!
