Ethelred,
I found an error in two of my reports to your second salvo.

aortas  0
joists  1
defect  0
murder  0
nicety  2

is correct!

My gravest apologies for goofing this yesterday.   I haven't replied to
your third salvo yet, and since this is a test game, you should probably
resubmit your third salvo with this information taken into account.
