I have understood the matter this way (and it looks to
me plain enough):
Short worlds are not connected (as a general rule) to
the trascendant reality which lies beyond the
otherworlds;
Normal Otherworlds are connected (as a general rule)
to the trascendent reality which lies beyond
themselves.
Exceptions are known in both cases, but you can define
the shortworlds as not-trascendent and the otehrworlds
as trascendent and you are near an Orlanthi definition
(85% of the cases).
Mispelling and confusion are a consequence of
Mistyping/semantics, as you correctly guess.
Just my two lire.
