20 OF THE LEXICOGRAPHY
Please note that individual words are NOT completely alphabetized. I never took the time to do so. If the definition defines the English Equivalent, then there will be no listing under English Equivalent.
Unfortunately, almost all the words and/or word elements are of the Vinyarik tongue. This is due to the fact that I only worked on the Vinyarik language during my spare time in the USNAVY. Once out of the USNAVY, I never spent the time to develop other languages. It was the Vinyarik tongue that eventually became the common language amongst all the Dugrayarin (Yarin). If you notice, there is no "Q" or "X" entries. The "QU" in English is actually the combination of the "k" and the "w" sounds. The "X" in English is actually the combination of the "k" and "s" sounds. Furthermore, the only time a "C" would appear in Vinyarik would be to depict the "ch" sound. Since "C" always makes a "k" or "s" sound, it would actually be replaced with those letters. One must always remember that unlike English letters, which is largely symbolic and not phonetic, the Vinyarik written language is entirely phonetic, being composed of runes that depicted a sound. See Vinyarik Written Languages (forthcoming) for further info. Also see Vinyarin Power Runes (forthcoming).

One note to remember, as Vinyarik words are combined into titles/names, pronunciation can change in the word elements. Also, not all of the sounds depicted below are used in Vinyarik. Below depicts the best I can do to translate Vinyarik into English using the normal alphabet and HTML special characters. If this causes confusion, then I apologize.
