Note on Standard Usage
Quite a number of contributors to Project Aon have reported inconsistencies regarding the use of words such as Drakkar across the series. After much research into the usage of Drakkar/Drakkarim, Nadziran/Nadziranim, and Ligan/Liganim across the books, we have decided to standardise the usage of the words in the following ways, which represent majority usage:
noun (s.): Drakkar
noun (pl.): Drakkarim
adj: Drakkarim
noun (s.): Nadziran
noun (pl.): Nadziranim
adj: Nadziranim
noun (s.): Ligan
noun (pl.): Liganim
adj: Liganim
All of the other words ending in -im either already conform to these rules (i.e. gazim, kuzim, lajakim, rekenarim, Sharnazim, and Tefarim) or cannot be conclusively tied to Darkland languages (e.g. Ghagrim).
Footnotes
[1] (Equipment) The Lantern is designed to be self-lighting. You will not need a Tinderbox or any other means of creating a flame to light it.
[2] (Section 11) Taking comments originally published in Lone Wolf Club Newsletter No.6 as a precedent, it seems reasonable to assume that you only lose a weapon-like Special Item here if you are not carrying at least one ordinary non-magical Weapon.
[3] (Section 30) There is no choice that leads to this section of the book. It is exactly the same as Section 299 and therefore superfluous.
[4] (Section 106) It is unclear whether a Kazan-Oud Platinum Amulet should protect you in this situation in lieu of the Discipline of Nexus.
[5] (Section 142) Taking comments originally published in Lone Wolf Club Newsletter No.6 as a precedent, you should lose the Dagger of Vashna here if you are not carrying at least one ordinary non-magical Dagger.
Alternatively, given the significance of the Dagger of Vashna, you may also reasonably choose to ignore the instruction to destroy the Dagger of Vashna even if that is the only Dagger you are carrying.
