From an email from Lieven to the mailing list, Nov 23 2022:
About the expression {jva}:
For this qepHom, we had produced playing dice with Klingon words instead of numbers. And despite intense proofreading I somehow missed one typo, written in pIqaD: it says {jva} instead of {jav}
DopDaq qul yIchenmoH QobDI' ghu'!
Now while preparing the qepHom and talking with Marc Okrand, I told him about this error, and I joked that perhaps Maltz has a good explanation for such a weird way of writing.
Surprisingly, he did, and provided this nice story printed in the booklet.
Ironically, nobody noticed the typo during the qepHom, or at least, they did not tell me.
The details of MO's response from Maltz are at http://klingon.wiki/Word/Jva On Tue, Aug 1, 2023 at 4:44 PM Will Martin via tlhIngan-Hol < tlhingan-hol@lists.kli.org> wrote:
Okay, reading further, it explains that it is “written” like this but always pronounced {jav}, which is pretty weird for a phonetic writing system...

There a listing for {jva} as a shortened version of {jav mIS}. Perhaps that’s a typo for {jav}?

Does anyone know the source for this? I can’t seem to track it down.
