An embarrassing mistake in the Tech Incerto Vol 1 (Stat Cons Fat Tails): mistook ك כּ for ק ق: all these years of philology gone to dust. Incidentally, a common Goyim mistake:"Gabish" (capisco/e) pronounced à la Siculo-Arabic is a ק ق, now pronunciato ك כּ in mod. Italian. — PolitiTweet.org

@nntaleb Nassim, it should be קורא (not כורא)
