This dictionary is a work in progress. We absolutely guarantee there are errors in it. The good news is that the errors are mostly in the new words. The words from the "A First Dictionary and Grammar of Láadan" (2nd Edition) have been, for the most part, verified with Suzette and corrected as necessary. If you find errors or have questions, let Jackie know.
"English Word" is an approximation of the Láadan definition, used to put this list in alphabetical order. There may be multiple English words for one Láadan word, and multiple Láadan words for one English word.
Core Words:
C = Core Words (First words Suzette created)

| adjective marker | wo- | changes a verb to an adjective, must be put on both verb and noun, after plural marker (beautiful woman = woháya wowith) Láadan has a form that is much like an English "adjective + noun" sequence, as in "green tree" or "small child". You can take any sequence of verb and subject (remembering that "adjectives" are only ordinary verbs in Láadan) and but the marker "wo-" at the beginning of each one. "Beautiful woman" is thus "woháya wowith". This is very useful, but it is a bit different from English, because it can only be used if you have just one verb. You cannot use this pattern to translate an English sequence like "little red brick wall". | ||
