11 ENGLISH - KZINTI DICTIONARY V. 1.0 Note: Words marked by an asterisk (*) have been introduced into Kzinti via the influence of other languages. In some cases, the word itself is derived from an alien word, while in other cases a Kzinti word has changed its form or part of speech to accomodate an alien grammar. These words are used on the border and on some colony worlds, but very rarely on the Homeworld, where such speech is considered a sign of inferiority.
