Remedial Witchcraft

Just got to the updated version myself (that is, the updated version of 8 Oct, which is the most recent update listed). It looks like the updated version introduces new bugs?

For instance, in the initial “get the crystal ball puzzle,” a step in the solution involves saying a magic word. Figuring out what to say isn’t hard; it’s the first lookup puzzle in the game. But the game doesn’t seem to understand any variation I can come up with on say nnai; say nnai and nnai and say “nnai” and speak nnai and a half-dozen other variations, including the simple say nnai in the provided walkthrough just result in the game replying “What does that mean?”

I’ve verified that it works in the original version, which I guess has bugs of its own. Am I just missing some obvious alternate phrasing here?
