    The Personal Representative of the estate of Louis Paris, deceased (P.R.) appeals, and contends that 100% of the residual estate should be distributed to husband's estate. P.R. cites Kostos v. Anderson, 205 Okla. 655, 240 P.2d 73 (1952), wherein the Court said: The general rule for the supplying of the omitted words in a will is stated in 69 C.J. 82, Section 1140(4): Words omitted from a will may be supplied by the court whenever necessary to effectuate the testator's intention as expressed in the will; but not when the effect of inserting the words in the will would alter or defeat such intention, or change the meaning of words that are clear and unequivocal.
