Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Dances in the Glen ❯ Glossary ( Chapter 10 )

AN: On request, I'm posting the glossary as the last chapter from now on. It seems that you guys are having a bit of trouble with my languages, but that's only to be expected. I'll update this as well as words are added and used in the story. So in other words, this is incomplete and probably won't be complete until the end of the story.

Basically, this will be the last chapter as I update . . . to elaborate, that means that the new chapter will be the one before last. Example: Say that right now I have seven written chapters and the glossary, FanFic.net will say that I have eight chapters. Okay? Now say that I update in a month and I have eight written chapters and a glossary, the updated chapter will be where the glossary was previously. Get it? The glossary will be moved back chapters as I update. Make sense? No? Sorry, I tried.
