Charis VocabularyA Story by Sara H.This is the vocabulary reference for the story I'm writing, titled "Charis"Rules for Darastrix slang in Charis: 1. if it is plural, add an “i” to the end; all words listed here that are not in reference to how they will always be used in writings will be written in plural form. Remove the final “i” to get the singular version of the word. 2. the date in Charis is always spoken & written in this format: (Day of the week), (Number of the Day) of (Month); for example: “irral, 1 of ir.” which translates to “First, 1 of One.”… OR “fogahral, 9 of vakil.” which translates to “Third, 9 of Seven.” There are nine months in the Charis calendar, each consisting of 42 days split into seven weeks.
