A dictionary of some Mek'Purr terms and some language notes.
Language notes. In some cases, the position of a word affects it's meaning in a phrase. The word "Purr" at the start of a phrase means warrior, the same word at the end of the phrase means people. Thus "Mek'Purr" meaning "The Technogical People" or even "The Tool Users", and Purr'Ka meaning "Warrior with Honour", or Samurai in some translations.
