Words

The majority of words listed in this list are words in their base form (that is, words that are not part of any word string, are not marked with a case declension, and are in present tense) unless otherwise specified: i.e. in the case of proper nouns, common word strings, and other word strings found in the lore and literature.

Some things to note: Since Wunal words rely on articles to determine whether or not they’re plural, and do not change their form when used in a different context (i.e. “Australia” and “Australian”), English translations will be accompanied by their English plural variants and alternate formats.
