Typo Of The Week

Knave

It's from Bury Your Dead, one of the Chief Inspector Gamache series of mystery novels by the excellent Louise Penny, p. 137. In this scene Chief Inspector Gamache is walking through a church in Québec, conversing with a priest, Père Sébastien:

They walked back the way they came, each pausing to cross himself, and across the knave to a small grotto area with a tiny altar lit by votives.

Hmm. Surely the knave objected vociferously to being walked on!
