Translator or writer error?

I've tried it myself... the book says:
FAAM KO UHU AR. PALA KO AR KO UHU NEL (??).
AR NA LAM FAAM NA.

so it means:
rotate right x3; up; left; rotate left x3; left x3; up (??);
left x2; down; rotate right x2

I don't know what NEL means, so if we assume that it means "x4" - it points you to the right spot. But how someone could figure it of it's own AND guessed that we should dig three times in this place... for me it's hard to believe.

Now that people know where it is watch them patch it to a different location and drop in a few extra hints. The ever moving relic.
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

If you tried it yourself tell me: how did you walk thru that big fat rock?

Starting point is the Stone Prophet, facing it
-> rotate right x3 > you face an empty tile, stone philosopher is to the right
-> ahead 1 > you step into that empty tile, now facing a rock wall
-> rotate left x3 > you face an empty tile, rock is to your left
-> left x3 > impossible since there is a freaking rock

so do the next instruction first
-> ahead x4 > you face empty files all around you
-> left x3 > now it's possible, still all empty tiles around you

now continue as translated
-> left x2 > all empty tiles around you
-> back 1 -> all empty tiles around you
-> rotate left 2x -> all empty tiles around you
-> dig -> nothing- -> dig -> nothing -> dig -> nothing ... repeat til all eternity

Reason: those directions place you 1 tile west of the relic dig site

You just find it and that's all? doesn't seem to do anything.

You have been mislead. Not everything is composed of four sides. Six is the most powerful figure.
SpoilerShow
you have been mislead or rather have you been mislead? mislead or not in the right way, so then left way? then: have you been in the left way?
SpoilerShow
six as six on left way?
SpoilerShow
six rather than four, this also means up and down
SpoilerShow
since you can move more tiles in front, back, right & left, why not up and down?
SpoilerShow
you can't fly, but can you go under?

Now that we found everything, they can release the map for us to play with in the editor. Right?
