This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Kevin,

Hello and welcome aboard!  To answer your question--I believe it is a
large typo that first (and last?) appeared in the original paperback
editions of THE CITADEL OF THE AUTARCH in chapter 34 (at least, that
is where I earlier found what you are talking about).  This typo does
not appear in SFBC hardcover editions, nor (I presume) in the Simon &
Schuster editions.

(FWIW I covered this in "Lexicon Urthus: Additions, Errata,
&cetera--Volume 2.")
