I don't remember this other son of Mogh

Unedited, straight from the Kindle version of the TNG Companion which has more typos and bad copy than you can shake a stick at.
I don't think this is a kerning issue, but rather a software one that read "Kurn" as "Kum" when converting the book to Kindle format. There are a bunch of other similar errors like this throughout which had my inner perfectionist screaming in rage, but this one cracked me up because apparently I'm 11 years old.
Or maybe the author actually wrote "Kum" given the other actual typos that aren't kerning issues littered throughout the Kindle version ("Junie Lowery-Johnson", the "Jenolen", etc.).
That would actually make more sense than a kerning problem.
Also we're both 11. Don't worry. This is hysterical and thank you for posting it.
Is it a, uhh, pirated version? I’ve seen some less than legitimate books introduce typos to be less easy for automated systems to pick up. Like flipping a copyrighted video before uploading to YouTube.
I purchased it from Amazon which I know doesn't mean much, but I'd assume a pirated electronic version would get shut down pretty quickly by the copyright holder.
