[Ansteorra] cloved not cloven fruit

[Stefan li Rous]

As is pointed out in the file I linked to, the word is "cloved" as in  
having cloves stuck into it. Not "cloven" as in being split, like an  
animal's foot. All of the fruit I saw in this game were whole with  
cloves stuck in them, not split fruit.
