Supposing the new version is officially defined with clarification
that {spofu} is a typo of {spotu}, why would the learner be confused
about the definition from then onward?

And supposing the confusion does occur to them, would that matter more
than the communal confusion over {zo'e/zu'i} or over the ill-defined
place structures does?
