Comment(s):
- Ihe pronunciation of "Mxyztplk" is given as "mux-izt-pulk" and the reverse, "Klptzyxm" is pronounced "kulpt-izt-pulk." Saying the word Klptzyxm will transport a person to Zrfff while the word "Qrdmlzf" will return the speaker. While in Zrfff, when the word "Zyxma" is spoken by Superman, magic has no effect on him.
