Notes

  1. This is the correct spelling, as provided by RAWA; the actual text on the disc is: "met yishah kokenen koago tenahsh mretson Ahmoreluh".[1] The misspellings were reportedly a choice of the graphic artist.[citation needed]
  2. The phrase appears on a computer screen in Cyan's game Cosmic Osmo and the Worlds Beyond the Mackerel.[citation needed]
  3. Most likely a list of Cyan employees. The "dh" in "Randh" is likely a misspelling of "d".
  4. Most likely more Cyan employees. Richard's name appears to feature the same mispelling of "d" as the other names, but also appears to have the "ch" omitted for an unknown reason.
