Dictionary

If there are two brackets with pronunciation, it's not like it can be pronounced in two different ways, I've just written an English way to pronounce it and my country's way. For example, the ʃ in English is š in my language, so don't mind the one you don't know. I will be using the English one in the chapters.

I'm aware that many people do not understand the phonetic alphabet (IPA), but this is the only way I can provide an exact way to pronounce the words. As a non-native speaker, I'm unable to use the typical way native speakers use - if I see that in books, it doesn't help me most of the time.

All I can do is give you an example of each symbol in an already existing English word:

ʌ - run, ʃ - Shy, ɪ - dig, ɑ: - car, ɔ: - door, i: - green, ɒ - dot, j - yes

If someone understands IPA and also knows how it could be written in a more simple way for those, who don't know IPA, please feel free to write it down in the comments! I would gladly add that version of pronunciation next to the ones I used ^.^

Numbers

1 - 'vehr [ver], 2 – 'rah [rʌh], 3 – 'ahra [ʌhrʌ], 4 – 'lahn [lʌn], 5 – 'kha [kʌ], 6 – 'her [cher]

7 – 'rist [rɪst], 8 – 'hett [het], 9 – 'dyh [dɪh], 10 – 'sihr [sɪr], 11 – 'eixe [eks]

Useful fact: The number in the name means the number of times the name has been used in the family. It usually starts with 'rah (2) because it's not necessary for the first use to be numbered. Nezdarahians don't have surnames. The families are recognized by the markings and the color of the markings on their faces that's why they use only first names and the numbers.

This is it for the dictionary. I can't think of any other words that would be needed for now but like I said, it will grow slowly.
