Creation and Usage Notes
| This word was originally spelled lottau, but the thing is, it shouldn't have been that way. It showed up in two episodes that way, but the truth is every place where a geminate or geminate-adjacent [t] occurs intervocalically in Trigedasleng, a simple t will do (e.g. in the word foto). I forgot that when coining this word, so I've taken it upon myself to correct it today. Thus it is done. (See also ratop.)
