    THIRD HORIZON PHRASEBOOK

    INTRODUCTION I have listed the original source word for each entry,
    in case players want to amend this for their own table,

    Phrasebook to the Third Horizon. I hope you enjoy it.

    My recommendation to you would be to start off


    Samati!
    trying to get a handle on no more than a handful of
    words to use at your table the first time you use any.
    Then, slowly add a word or two to this list, until you’ve
    reached a happy number that everyone understands.
