zhima n. [ʒi:.ma:’] armpit f
Numbers
There is no specific base set in Zadu because of the variety of species that speak it.
When forming numbers over a set, the numbers will stack up. For example, with Schizoids, ten would
be Na'mür. With Hazi, that would be Ze'na' (eight and one). In any script, the numbers are represented
with lines and dots.

Phrase/idea words
Not every Zadu word has an exact English equivalent, or come even close. Most of these are more of
abstract ideas than solid things.
Yä’ä n. [`jeiʔei] Warm happy feeling received with a compliment
Life
Other than a few, most Padran life does not have an Earth name equivalent. Instead, it will say the
planet they live on. If there is an Earth name equivalent, then that will be said in parentheses. All species
names are masculine.
