You're right, the Y'tem (pronounced EE-tem) is an unimportant BoP in the fleet of "By Inferno's Light", seen *after* Dukat joins the Dominion fleet with his BoP. Question is, where did Okuda get "Etam" for Dukat's ship? Someone said once he used the UManitoba ship list for reference. Now, if we check that list, we see that UManitoba has only the Etam, assuming it to be Dukat's ship. Let's say Okuda adopted the assumption into the Encyclopedia and added the Y'tem from the scripts, not realizing the mistake. Unless Dukat's BoP is named onscreen, which it isn't in the script. If Bernd's original spellings are in the Encyclopedia, then the Encyclopedia must be wrong. Okuda is supposed to use the actual script spellings like he said he would, and usually does. Unless a name has been contradicted onscreen, the script takes precedence over the Encyclopedia, just as registry numbers from models and Okudagrams take precedence over those from the Encyclopedia. It's not like the writers don't know how to spell Klingon, and have to be corrected by Okuda. Not even Okrand can claim to have higher authority, since his Klingon is not always used on the show.
