Snow replies:
I had also wondered about the difference between the spellings and or 
meanings of Priori Incantato vs. Priori Inacntatem. The only 
reference that I can think of that might relate would be parcel mouth 
and parcel tougue. 
Priori Incantato is to Priori Incantatem as Parcel Mouth is to Parcel 
Tongue.

Don't know if that helps but thats what I thought!
