Mea culpa, mea culpa! You are absolutely correct in
your suspicions. They are indeed mutliple typing
slips. That's the probelm with conlangs, one slip of
the keyboard and you've got a whole new declension in
your case system :-) So the proper reading is:
moswano-r-am = root-plural-accusative and moswano-r-sa
=root-plural-instrumental. I will endeavor to
proofread more efficiently in the future. Promise.
