As I brainstormed for the Tubori Racial Perspectives contest, it came to mind that there are many created words in TI lore, and I was thinking it would be helpful to have a dictionary helpfile of them for reference and to explain their usage. It's often hard to know how to call something when related to the races, for example. Is something Charali or Charlian?

Some examples (And not entirely sure these are right!):
Charali:

noun
1. A native or inhabiant of the Charali Plains; a Charalin
2. The language of the Charali; Charalin
3. (as a plural noun the Charali) the tribes or people of the Charali plains collectively.

adjective:
1. relating to the people of the Charali plains or their language

Charalin:

noun
1. A native or inhabiant of the Charali Plains
2. The language of the Charali.

adjective
1. Relating to the people of the Charali plains or their language.

Farin:

noun
1. A duchy in the south of the kingdom of Lithmore which borders the Daravi Sultante.
2. (as plural noun the Farin) the people of Farin collectively.

adjective
1. Relating to Farin or its people or language.

Fariner:

noun
1. A person who is Farin by birth or descent.

Further thought, if it becomes too large for a help file, the dictionary could be broken into a database separate from the normal help system like 'help domain'. 'help dictionary' could list categories the entries would fall under.

I think just the races/languages are a good start though!

Further further thought: This would make a really cool IC book too, if anyone wants to tackle it.
