RESOURCE: JangObi Week fics Glossary of non-Galactic Basic terms ~ Star Wars

[batsutousai]

Because some of the glossaries of Mando'a (& other non-Basic languages) got rather long for this week, I decided to just compile the whole lot into one post and have all of the fics for this Ship Week refer to it.

Words are in alphabetical order, so it shouldn't prove too hard to find the one you're looking for.
