I periodically see notations for target numbers written this way: "18-". Is this intended to be like the Traveller usage for "or lower"?
Yes.
p.237 (Korúnkoi hiSsánu hiMissúm) "a sorcerer devoted to Change who reads gains 2 experience points in Sorcery skill."
Fixed.
p.236 (Zigzag Scimitar of Savadáno the Slayer) "a hilt that appears to be silver - chaised iron" -> silver-chased
Filigreed.
p.232 (Jade Bowl of the God - King of Purdánim) "The devices exchanges the user's mind with that of another being of the same species" -> device exchanges
Fixed.
(Helmet of the Three - Pointed Star) "Charges are checked by with d100," -> checked with
Fixed.
P 95, 48A. The Hands of Krá the Mighty (Psychic)
Cost: 16; NRG: 14; aimed; attack; 12”range; 1 target; resist; partial
The target is seized by an invisible vice of psychic force, as though by a great pincers.
Fixed.
P 97, Phantasms II, III, and IV
The Defenses lines in those three stat blocks are indented. Is this intentional?
Yes, and standard throughout all of the creature entries.
P 98, 61A. Flare (Ritual)
A visible, hissing blast of energy, scarlet in the case of Karakán, and orange - red...
Fixed.
P 99, 66A. Reflect Magic (Ritual)
If he/she makes a Resistance Check against opponent's...
Fixed.
P 104, Azure Denizen (19)
Secretion doesn't have a number associated with its "-" in the Hit column.
Correct. The secretion isn't an attack in itself - it's an effect which takes place once the creature has grabbed someone. That's why the 'damage' given for the creature's Grapple attack is listed as 'Secretion'.
P 104, Demon of the Dark (18.9)
Phobia: Fire. Make a WILL check, unmodified only for campfire - sized blazes.
As written, it seems incomplete.
Fixed.
P 106, Flame Dragon (17.7)
Flame Breath 13- 6/9/12
e
Does the "e" under the Dmg range belong there?
Yes - it indicates energy damage, rather than physical damage. It's not supposed to be on a separate line, though - Fixed.
This should have been explained in section 9.4 (p.72), but wasn't. Also fixed.
P 107, 76A. Impervious Shell (Ritual)
There is a danger of running out of air within the shell, moreover.
You may have noticed that Prof. M.A.R. Barker is listed above me in the credits. This is, in part, because large portions of Bethorm are his actual words, with the game mechanics portions converted to my Pocket Universe system. He's the guy responsible for all these 'e.g.'s, 'moreover's, and so on. Out of respect for the Professor, I won't be changing any of those things unless it appears that they are actually literally completely wrong (as in the case of his use of the word 'chaised', above).
It seems that at some point you chose to shift from "range" to "rng".
Fixed.
p.205 (Sagún “the Fungus”) "This creature is an ambient fungus" -> Should this be "ambulatory", "inimical" or something like that? Ambient usually means something in one's surroundings like sound, scent or lighting, passive environmental elements.
Fixed.
p.182 (Hluss)
Formatting is missing from the ability tags
Fixed
p.181 (Hli'ir) "It can be fought without looking at a penalty" -> misplaced modifier(?): "It can be fought without looking at it, but at a penalty; ..."
Fixed.
p.171 (Aqaa) "A victim swallowed by the Aqáà has a only a ...

P 109, 82A. Beratement (Psychic)
A target who makes his/her Resistance Check suffers 9/12/15 physical damage.
Do you, perhaps, mean "fails"?
Fixed.
Capitalize Impermeable?
Fixed.
P 117, 108C. Banishment III (Ritual)
Even this spell is not powerful enough to dispel the Demon Lords described in "The Book of Ebon Bindings," however.
Fixed.
P 117, 118, Expurgation I, II, III
In these spell descriptions you say E-I removes "multiple", E-II removes "more", and E-III removes "still more". Might we have guidance concerning those hinted at numbers?
Those are references to the increasing size of the area effects of those spells. See 9.6.
P 121, 119C. Combat Perfection I (Psychic)
a swordsman who has never who has never...
Fixed.
