Lilitu, /lɪ'lɪtuː/, n. Lilitu. See encyclopedia article.

usage: Contrary to its usage in other languages, lilitu is actually a demonym (cultural name), not a species name. Groups such as the Mitradzhethíasa, the Egrekeloi, and various isolated slokdtabasa who survived the extinction of the Ksreskézai are not generally referred to using the word "lilitu," but rather egrekelu.

slokdtabu, n. (a) Lilitu servant (in feminine declension); (b) slave (in neuter declension).

egrekelu, n. Culturally neutral term for a Lilitu. The word derives from the Ksreskézaian for 'from the stars,' and was used mostly in early medical contexts when the Ksreskézai felt that slokdtaba was inappropriate. Throughout the history of the Lilitai as an independent people, this word has more often been used to discuss cultural splinter groups and those naturalized in other civilizations. Because of its etymology as a perceived term of respect by their ancient masters, the word is generally considered very respectful, but sometimes provokes extremely negative reactions.

zelnagendeshu, n. Biological term for human of Rotomem stock; specifically meaning 'those who were captured'.
