(Hehe, you spelled it right.)

I'm not sure if this has been addressed before - or if you were 
actually making a reference to this in the first place - but during 
OWL exams in OotP, Hermione is upset because she herself made a very 
similar mistake: "I mistranslated 'ehwaz,'" said Hermione 
furiously. "It means 'partnership,' not 'defense,' I mixed it up with 
eiwhaz." I didn't even make the connection to the discussion of 
Harry's scar until I read your comment about the spelling. Has 
everyone else already noticed that JKR used the term? It has the 
potential to be another one of those very casually placed clues.
