It's the -ing form of verbs.I'll use 'j' for 'judge' and 'g' for 'go' sounds.It could be gair-und, ger-und, jair-und, jer-und, or a few others.That's the damn cool thing about English, it's a bastardized language that adopts words from every other language, preserving many of the spellings, and makes them its own. However, those spellings then become usable for new English words, and as a result there are dozens of ways to spell the same sound. There are 42 phonemes in English, but only 26 characters to represent them. There are a few issues with consonants, but most of the trouble is the vowels. Then there's the vowel shift. English is chaotic by nature.There was a time before google. It's an invented word that wasn't included into the dictionary until recently. Some people still get pissed off when it is used as a verb. For most of us, it's old hat, but for some, it's a blood-boiling sacrilege.Get over it, things change. The language changes. Justicar has been in use in the gaming community since AD&D and in literature since before that. There is more evidence of Justicar in this context than Justiciar in this context. Until Justiciar appeared in 4E PHB, most gamers had no idea. As far as I'm concerned, Justiciar is the work of an editor who assumed Justicar was a misspelling and changed it without querying the writers.</blockquote>
