Seems like the translator doesn't know Sanskrit syntax very
well. The last word of that suutra is a compound word:
savyaapasavyasauSumneSu (savya-apasavya-sauSumneSu).
Actually Mike is fluent in Sanskrit, although I never really liked
his
translation of the SS.
Have you got any favourite translation of the above suutra?
Shiva Sutras: The Supreme Awakening by Swami Lakshmanjoo
He was the last living acharya of that tradition.
My favorite translation of III 45 goes like this:
3-45 Concentrating on the center within the nose, what use
are the left and the right channels or suSumna?
naasikaantarmadhyasaMyamaat kimatra savyaapasavyasauSumNeSu
3-45 Concentrating (saMyamaat: ~performing saMyama) on the center
within the nose (naasikaa+antar-madhya), what use
are (kim atra: what here?) the left (savya: iDaa?) and the right
(apasavya: pin.galaa?) channels or suSumna (sauSumNeSu)?

As I believe I've explained here before, in an agama like this one,
samyama has a different meaning than it does in yoga-darshana. In
fact, many different technical terms have different meanings in
different darshanas or ways-of-seeing.
In the samyama of this school, there is no outward stroke (vyutthana).
