[edit] Inconsistency

The entry for 1E 361 has 'Marukh' and 'Maruhk' as spellings of the monkey prophet. Does anybody know which is correct? --Rpeh^Talk 07:56, 17 July 2007 (EDT)

Both spellings seem to be used in the game texts, as well as both 'Marukhati' and 'Maruhkati' selectives. The most common spelling is 'Marukh,' used multiple times in Cleansing of the Fane and On Oblivion, Rislav the Righteous, and The Doors of Oblivion. The only instance of 'Maruhk,' at least in all the books included in Oblivion, is a single instance in The Last King of the Ayleids. As for 'Marukhati'/'Maruhkati' selectives, Glarthir is the only person to mention them, and he probably isn't the most reliable source for information ;) So based on that survey, I'd suggest 'Marukh' should be adopted as the standard spelling. --Nephele^Talk 23:52, 17 July 2007 (EDT)

I don't know who's more nerd-like - me for spotting the inconsistency or you for finding the answer so quickly! Now updated... --Rpeh^Talk 03:49, 18 July 2007 (EDT)

What is a monkey prophet? ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.131.11.144 (talk • contribs).}

Another title for Marukh ;) Perhaps because Marukh was of the Imga race (see also Tamriel Talk:Imga). --Nephele^Talk 22:55, 28 September 2007 (EDT)
