Note: Words marked by an asterisk (*) have been introduced into Rihannsu via the influence of other languages. In some cases, the word itself is derived from an alien word, while in other cases a Rihannsu word has changed its form or part of speech to accommodate an alien grammar. These words are used on the border and on some colony worlds, but very rarely on the Homeworlds, where such speech is considered a sign of inferiority or even disloyalty.
