45e8305918 True rumor and oracularity update
This removes or updates several true rumors that have become
misleading or inaccurate due to changes to the mechanics they were
describing, and adds several new rumors describing mechanics that
are either new, or are intended to be a larger part of the game
than they were in previous versions.

More oracularities describing the new mechanics are needed, but I
haven't managed to get into the write frame of mind to write in the
Oracle's voice yet...

ef80549c70 Add true rumor about erinyes and alignment abuse
I don't think this entirely gives the game away, but strongly suggests a
connection between bad deeds and how dangerous erinyes are (especially
combined with the new erinys encyclopedia entry).

cad800337d Add rumors related to sink, hand-washing changes
These can hint at some of the changes that make it possible to dip
potions in sinks to potentially get a hint to their identity, and wash
your hands in sinks, pools, and fountains.  I also mentioned rings in
the potion/sink rumor since there didn't seem to be a rumor about the
sink ring ID mechanic already (though there may be one in coded language
that my grepping didn't catch).  The false rumor about hand-washing felt
to me like a good spot for a Macbeth reference.

70c9b801bd github pull request #233 - plural of Nazgul
Fixes #233

makeplural() and makesingular() know that the plural of Nazgul is
Nazgul, but one of the hard-coded rumors didn't.

1151ec19a1 fix rumors.tru typo
"They say that an ooze will bite your boots and a rockmole will eat them."

'rockmole' should be two words.  Also, rock moles won't eat leather
boots, so change 'will eat' to 'might eat'.

H4243 bz 353
This just makes the rumor wording sound a bit less absolute than it did.
