                        ZENTRAEDI DICTIONARY                    9204.10
                        ====================
        This list was compiled form the "Zentraedi Word Encyclopedia"
from the MACROSS (Movie) This is Animation #11 and translations from
the MACROSS DELUXE THEATRE EDITION book.

DISCLAIMER #1: I am a definite amateur when it comes to translating, so if
        anyone disagrees, has something to add, etc., I am more than willing
        to listen.

DISCLAIMER #2: Those terms followed by (?), are words for which I have yet to
        discover the meaning. I would appreciate any input.

DISCLAIMER #3: Yes, I realize that this will identify me as a read Macross nut.
