===Dictionary===
Note: all words (except the suffixes) are defined as standalone nouns in this glossary, but they can see several uses, as pseudo-verbs (described below) and when suffixed to another noun, as adjectives. They should be translated thus, so if a word is glossed as "fire", do not hesitate to translate it as "burn", "fiery", or "burning" if context and placement demands it.

* ''kato'' - song, chant
* ''ave'' - bird
* ''rabo'' - work, drift (through) (these are actually unrelated words that are spelt identically)
* ''-ri'' - his/her/its
* ''tera'' - Earth, land
* ''homo'' - person, human
* ''sonyo'' - dream, fantasy
* ''thakyo'' - creation, action
* ''-ne'' - negation suffix
* ''motü'' - death
* ''amo'' - love, beloved, lover
* ''-do'' - two
* ''voro'' - wish/want, fly (these are actually unrelated words that are spelt identically)
* ''icho'' - blow, wound, injury, hurt
* ''mare'' - sea, ocean
* ''more'' - softness, weakness, pliability
* ''age'' - coldness
* ''gero'' - ice
* ''tepo'' - time
* ''Mino'' - Minos (Judge of the Dead)
* ''rokwe'' - speech
* ''save'' - knowledge
* ''rere'' - thing, matter
* ''obüsükuro'' - dark, hidden (a borrowed term, the only such example in this passage)

===Notes===
First of all - don't worry if it doesn't make much sense, because I found the torch I got to be pretty semantically confusing in the first place! You will have to read [[Rigwayavo|this article]], especially for the semantic elision, which is important to understand (in short, the process whereby a previously used word may be invoked by just using its first syllable). What follows will assist in translation beyond what the article explains.

It is useful to note that the dative case (''-cha'') is usually used more like a possessive; otherwise the cases should be straightforward (every word is marked for case). There are no true verbs in Rigwayavo, so often the direct object (marked with ''-a'') of a subject (marked with ''-ha'') should be interpreted as a verb instead. In other places, the subject may be interpreted as the verb, generally when a possessive pronoun is attached to it (this would be the subject) or when such pronoun is implied. The word ''homo'' can be used as a placeholder word for a personal pronoun when it carries a possessive pronoun, e.g. "my person" is used where in English we would say "I" or "me". All numbers are monosyllabic suffixes and are glossed in the Dictionary section as they occur, but there is a notable suffix which is suffixed like a number, namely ''-o'', which simply indicates that there is a number greater than one but not very big whose exact value is unimportant; it functions much like a plural. If a noun takes multiple adjectives, each must be suffixed separately, requiring a repetition of the first syllable of the antecedent noun but all meant to modify the first iteration.
