But the entire point was to cover the plot hole of why Klo-Tark didn't contact the Eld himself for all this time.
This can be explained only if he was too young to remember it himself (that, or the amnesia cliche).

Despite that, I decided I don't care about this plot hole.
One type of error we generally accept in fantasy/sci-fi stories is the language barrier.
Sometimes there is an excuse for this in the story like a babble-fish, or "our race learned English by watching your television". In other times it's just hand-waved, and for a good reason - Language barrier can be a good tool to create stories of different cultures, but it gets tiring REALLY fast for both the author and the readers.
