Please and thank you.

In Chapter 11, Tekne is spelled Tekhne.

In Chapter 12, it says: "You see, Mirshoa joined the Ordeal out faith as Zaudunyani" feels like there should have been an "of" in there.

In chapter 12 again, pretty sure "plain site" should be "sight."

In chapter 14, "Trumpets peeled across the desolation, fading into the onerous, oceanic groan of the ghus."  Perhaps I missed something, but I don't think ghus is a word and I can't figure what it is supposed to be.

  • Chapter 16, section starting with "Nemukus Mirshoa and his Kishyati...", first paragraph.
    "more want to rely on skill" should be "more wont to rely on skill"
  • Chapter 19, section starting with "Sunlight fell as a healer's hand..."
    "for it was the want of Men to surrender their borders in song" should be "for it was the wont of Men to surrender their borders in song"
This error only occurred twice in TUC, but I believe it occurred many more times in TGO.

Those seem fine to me pail. Either could be correct? I'm not really a language guy though, maybe your right

Want
verb
1.
have a desire to possess or do (something); wish for.
"I want an apple"
synonyms:   desire, wish for, hope for, aspire to, fancy, care for, like; More
2.
archaic
lack or be short of something desirable or essential.
One of the other conditions of possibility.

Oh, yeah, there is also a missing "break" between the lines:

"Maybe the Consult will kill him." and "To see is to follow." in Chapter 11, where the POV shifts from Kel to Mimara.

Wilshire, for the second example, you could make an argument that "want" would fit in the sense of desire, but I believe the intended meaning was wont. For the first, "want" couldn't fit at all.

There is literally a random email in the middle of my copy.  Like, printed into the text.

Yup that's fair. Agreed.

It was a mistake found in the ARCs, one of which Walter won . I assume since no one has mentioned it otherwise, it was fixed.

In the Glossary there are several, one glaring one:

Oncis Sea
111 Aphorisms
"one lamb for ten bulls"

There is a mention of Ku’jara-Kinmoi as well, in the entry for Imimorûl.

That's right or rather, that's wrong!

There are a few Cinderswords (I think it said 6?), and each of them have a couple of names.  I think Kayutas had one, all along, and, seperately, Mirshoa found one earlier.

Isiramulis is the sword's proper name, the others are monikers it has earned over time (it was known by many different names).  It was wielded by an ursranc, who was killed by Mirshoa's gang.  Then Mirshoa picked it up, and used it to defeat the Erratic Tall Nonman.  But he was subsequently eaten by Skuthula (the passage specifically says Mirshoa's right forearm, assumedly sword arm, falls to the ground).  That left the sword laying there until Kayutas found it while trying to get past the Intrinsic Gate.  He then gives it to Serwa.  It's the same sword, specifically named Isiramulis each time, it just changed hands a few times in a relatively short period of time.
No whistling on the slog!
