Notes:

  -1- The glossary will be a chronological (not alphabetical) list of terms used in this novel and need a general definition.

  -2- The glossary will be - slowly - updated depending on the development of the novel (and my free time).

  -3- If there are words that you don't understand or you have some doubt concerned about their meaning, you can ask for an explanation here.

  - 4- There are words (some are strange) that are used to have the same connotation. (It's confusing, why use this?) Because I wanted to show the variation in culture between two or more species.

  The glossary:

  * Aractanthrope: a combination of ¨Anthrop¨ for a person or humanoid and ¨Ar¨ from Arctoidea an infra-order of mostly carnivorous mammals mainly used in this novel to means a creature with two physical shapes: a mythical bear-like beast and a humanoid.

  * Lycanthrope: a mythological creature from Greek literary means "wolf-person", a human with the ability to shape-shift into a wolf. In this novel, is used in the sense of a creature with two forms: one a mythical wolf and the other is a humanoid form.

  Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

  * Anthropomorphic: relating to or characterized by anthropomorphism. Is the attribution of human traits, emotions, or intentions to non-human entities. In this novel, it is used in the sense of a mixture of animal and human physical and psychological characteristics.

  * Metamorph: used in the sense of a creature who can change its form or shape.

  * Polymorph: it is a creature who has more than one shape, basically has the same sense of Metamorph.

  * Aramaic: an ancient language.

  * Amarok: a mythical giant wolf. Used to name a Polymorph who has this mythical wolf shape. In the novel, it's used to have the same meaning for a Lycanthrope

  * Kerit: a mythical creature: a bear-like beast with hardened armor. Used in this novel to name a Polymorph who has this shape. In the novel, it's used to have the same meaning for an Aractanthrope.

  * Crocotta: a mythical creature, a mixed breed between a wolf and striped hyena with two horns.

  * Chimera: used not in its mythical sense but in a way to refer to a being who is composed of two or more parts of diffident species. It has the same signification as anthropomorphic. Why use two words that have the same signification, because I wanted to show the cultural difference between the two species.
