My impression of the Kalant/Kalant Support situation is that there's going to be a Suitor phase for picking Tyna's prince consort, and Kalant's standing as a candidate (the raw Kalant variable) will be increased or decreased based on the Kalant Support variable at some point in the course of that game section. But that's an assumption, and your wait and see approach has some merit.

One of the odd things is that I realized as I was making the corrections is that I was completely unable to say why most of them were wrong, because I have not formally studied English grammar since I was about 12, and my foreign language education (in Spanish) started two years later. The brain just passes by and flags the mistakes on autopilot. I know that my Spanish is weakest on these points of alien grammar and conjugation that are analogous. I've got just enough Spanish speaking skill to give the people doing the landscaping an impression of an amiable professor who's suffered a stroke that destroyed the grammatical portion of his brain.

"Papabile" probably never got an English translation because there are large swathes of the English speaking world where the Papal Conclave is an area of public interest only the same way that the selection of the new Dalai Lama would be. By the time the Catholic population of the USA got economically meaningful enough that mainstream newspapers would care to make the succession to the Papacy a news item, sometime between the late 1800s or the 1930s, there wasn't any shame in just lifting the Italian word and running off with it.
