I stand corrected on "Stonn", it does sound closer to his
actual name. The quotes are, after the battle:
Spock: "Explain"
ToPring: "Specify"
Spock: "Why did you choose the battle, and my captain as your victor?"
ToPring: "I wanted Stonn, Stonn wanted me."
Spock: "I fail to see the logic in prefering Stonn over me."

This is correct.
