Yep, it was a typo. Sorry. I panicked, though, and quickly checked
the Lexicon to make sure I hadn't typed it wrong there too. Looks
like I was okay. *whew*
So where does that word "Eeylops" come from? Anyone have an idea?
I'll have to check Whats In A Name and see if Ellie has it listed
there. What a great word, though!
