False Prophet Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Does anyone know of a 40 dictionary, a fictionary if you will. A comprehensive list of all those weird little words that only exist in the 40k universe, and hopefully their meanings. At this point I have to rely on my memory, which is not a sound resource, and continually searching the net. (I'm too lazy for that.) If anyone knows of one, I'd be appreciative. Cheers.

Growler67 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Dictionary.com or merriam-webster.com work for most things, the rest I have just figured out after building up a mental database through reading Codices, Rulebooks, Black Library publishings, various 40k related blogs and online forums and so on. I do not think there is an "official" collection of terms, however. Having a fair amount of experiences with different geographies and the indigenous inhabitants and cultures, I've also picked up on coloquialisms that seem to find their way into different 40k writings....depending on the author. Anything in particular you are having difficulty with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
False Prophet Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 I'm not having any real problem, I'm just after a definitive list. It would make writing a lot easier. I just don't want to use the wrong lexicon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Well, barring checking out the wikis the only thing that I can recall off the top of my head that would fit the bill was the old 40k fluff bible (however that little snippet was fan made and had questionable material in it regarding canonicity). Perhaps you could make one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Or just make up the words. After all, the galaxy is a big place and only the Tanith say feth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
