In Chapter 9, it's Cû-jara Cinmoi, rather than the usual Cû'jara Cinmoi.
I am a warrior of ages, Anasurimbor. . . ages. I have dipped my nimil in a thousand hearts. I have ridden both against and for the No-God in the great wars that authored this wilderness. I have scaled the ramparts of great Golgotterath, watched the hearts of High Kings break for fury. -Cet'ingira

In Chap. 18: The Golden Room:

“They began moulding themselves the way potter’s mould clay,” the unscathed one said.

potter's -> potters
Any fool can see the limits of seeing, but not even the wisest know the limits of knowing. Thus is ignorance rendered invisible, and are all Men made fools.

Maybe it was Harry?

Kiünnat is spelled Kunniat in the glossary.

Wait, does Bakker usually use British English? Mould or mold?

I assume the editor-interns decided that 'Canadian' has some peculiarities and just left it in because otherwise they'd have to read it all much more closely. 
(Because I assume a reasonable publisher in the US uses US standard english when publishing/editing)

If I remember correctly, Bakker uses several Britishisms throughout the series, but I can't recall them at the moment...

Spotted emend somewhere in the glossary for what I assume should stand for amend.
“Because you’re a pious man born to a world unable to fathom your piety. But all that changes with me, Akka. The old food pyramids have outlived the age of their intention, and I have come to reveal the new. I am the Slimmest Path, and I say that you are not damned.”

In the glossary entry for Nil'giccas (page 545 on the paperback copy):

Quote
eldest son of Sin'niroiha and Tsinirû


And in the glossary entry for Sin'niroiha (page 567):

Quote
his marriage to the sorceress Tsinirû, who would bear him Nil'giccas, his only son



One of these isn't right...

"You prefer to believe women victims to their passions, but we can be at least as calculating as you. Love does not make us weak, but strong."

"Eldest" shouldn't really be used if there's only the one son, it's misleading. :P

Unless there were younger sons who died in infancy/childhood or something like that. There's no evidence to assume this was the case, though.

With others being daughters? It's possible, I guess.

That's my best guess, its slightly excuses the mistake. Still wrong, still irritating.

Looking through the glossary again - on page 457 (paperback), on the entry for the Amiolas, Nau-Cayûti is spelled "Nau-Kayûti" (similarly to the "Kû'jara Kinmoi" mentioned earlier on this thread...).
Might be a variant spelling, of course (Nau-Cayûti -> Kayûtas, Celmomas -> Kelmomas?), but it has been consistently spelled with a C before.

And there's an age that doesn't seem to make sense - on page 453, on the entry for Agabon, Coithus, his dates of birth and death are given as 4124 and 4132. Admittedly, I don't remember this character (a reread is needed...) but it seems very unlikely that an 8-year-old would be marching with the Ordeal...
