So, which is it, Memphet'ran or Mephet'ran?
I ask this because I used the name as my user handle on SB because I liked the sound of it and I now fear I may have been misspelling it for, like, 5 years. How embarrassing.

40K Question: the Deciever's name in Necronese
When the Necrons met the C'tan they gave the Deciever a name in their own language that meant "Messenger". Now, I always thought the name was Memphet'ran, but I've seen it spelled Mephet'ran (no second m) quite a few times. I always assumed that was just a misspelling, but doing some Google searching all the references I've found to it spell it that way.

Mephet'ran is how it's spelt in the Codex, so I'm guessing you may be wrong.
According to wikipedia, "the Mohorovičić discontinuity is the boundary between the Earth's crust and the mantle."
