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

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.
