## Words that do not have a direct English equivalent

Banki (Ban-ki) - Meaning "dishstick" in Ximi, banki are a pair of sticks used to pick up small pieces of food from bowls and pans, as using other kinds of cutlery on these is considered taboo and unhygienic.

Chibelo (Chi-be-lo) - A word referring to the left foot of the body. The right foot is Sabelo.

Chimatso (Chi-ma-tso) - A word referring to the left hand of the body. The right hand is Samatso.

Daigun (Dai-gun) - A title originating from the Kumiho species. It used to be the highest rank a kumiho could achieve in their hierarchies until Tantvits came and proclaimed herself Shogun. As far as the Ximi are concerned, "daigun" simply refers to any kumiho of high status.

Daigunuum (Dai-gu-nu-um) - Land belonging to a daigun, her domain.

Gurupiri (Gu-ru-pi-ri) - A title meaning "high judge" in Ximi. The female version is "Gurepiri". There is one gurupiri per region who holds great sway over the people he or she rules over. They report directly to the potenxus or imperyus. A high judge is voted in by an electorate comprised of local nobility. However, the judge needn't be of noble blood, nor does the title grant them the status of nobility. The post of high judge is kept until the judge's death. There is no abdication.

Kiruru (Ki-ru-ru) - A low rank noble title. The female version would be "Kirure".

Kovnozyuri (Kov-noz-yu-ri) - The denotation assigned to people who resemble Saint Kovnoz.

Ozifili (O-zi-fi-li) - Tears specifically shed under fear or stress.

Ozislaavi (O-zi-slaa-vi) - Tears shed specifically under pure joy.

Ozidami (O-zi-da-mi) - Tears that have been shed due to sadness.

Potenxa (Po-ten-xa) - A noble title first given to Saint Takeda after Ximizhle's death. Its purpose is to be above all other titles and to rule the Ximi people. An equivalent would be "queen".

Potenxaum (Po-ten-xa-um) - The domain of a Potenxa. An equivalent would be "kingdom".

Potenxu (Po-ten-xu) - The male version of Potenxa. An equivalent would be "king".

Sabelo (Sa-be-lo) - A word referring to the right foot of the body. The left foot is Chibelo.

Samatso (Sa-ma-tso) - A word specifically refering to the right hand of the body. The left hand is Chimatso.

Shogun (Sho-gun) - A title originating from the Kumiho species. It belongs to the absolute ruler of all kumiho and their lands. The rank was invented by the kumiho Tantvits. To the Ximi, shogun and tantvits are pretty much interchangable.

Shogunuum (Sho-gu-nu-um) - The land belonging to a shogun.

Takedari (Ta-ke-da-ri) - The denotation assigned to people who resemble Saint Takeda.
