Thank you all for answering my question. My hesitation stemmed from two sources, both resolved now. First, CzechOut explained in which sense time can be seen as vitreous. Second, there does not seem to be an in-universe object behind the other spelling (I was thinking of something along the lines of [[Kamelion]] sounding similar to  "chameleon").

Regarding the use of scripts, I understand they are not a primary source.

For instance, I would never have been able to properly spell [[Brighella]] without the help of the script. If a dictionary or encyclopaedic word is outside of my vocabulary, a script is really helpful, even a script with a typo.

Thank you all for answering my question. My hesitation stemmed from two sources, both resolved now. First, CzechOut explained in which sense time can be seen as vitreous. Second, there does not seem to be an in-universe object behind the other spelling (I was thinking of something along the lines of Kamelion sounding similar to "chameleon").

Regarding the use of scripts, I understand they are not a primary source. But I still envy those who have them: scripts do make editing simpler if treated with caution and, yes, primarily for proper names. For instance, I would never have been able to properly spell Brighella without the help of the script. If a dictionary or encyclopaedic word is outside of my vocabulary, a script is really helpful, even a script with a typo.
