A list of all Kannalan terms released for easy translation.

Note that there are different dialects of Kannalan, but all Kannalan words are included here. Some of these, that begin to look more like Common are quite possibly the earliest precursors to Common or a case of the humans' original language that became Common asserting influence upon Kannalan (based on notes from GM Scribes).

OOC Note: Several of older terms found in-game are apparently directly Old English.
