I also found these along the way:

here [tp: Or "tarry" or "stop" or any of numerous other synonyms;
anything but "dwell", which (notwithstanding the phrase "dwell on/upon")
I've never seen used to mean "stay for a little while", rather than
"take up residence"]
(er) 16tlov 105: give rise for concern ->  give cause for concern [tp: Or
perhaps "give rise to concern"]

Both fixed last night, though I couldn't upload them until this morning.

I thought we were going to leave the "dwell" language as is.

Archaic or flowery language is fine, but the use of "dwell" here falls much more into the "wrong" category, for my money. If Lone Wolf chose 'not to dwell on the incident', that would be fine; but to choose 'not to dwell here' is a very strange use of language.

Just IMO, of course.
