RZS responded:
AIUI the "keri" that substitutes completely different words for
what is written is not HlMmS, but rather "tikum sofrim".

CM responds:
The gemara on 25b never uses the terms kri and ksiv for those cases that "substitute[s] completely different words for what is written." The term the gemara uses is "korin oson lesh'vach." Thus these would not be candidates for HlMmS as I understood this as well.
