C
- cenony (SEN-ə-nee): a Mangean place of worship.
K
- kowl'eerí'na (pl. kowl'eerí'ni, literally 'beautification [of a prayer]'): A Shalaian liturgical poem, often as part of a D/s kink ritual. Melodies for kowl'eerí'ni are set to either a solo voice with accompaniment or a choir; they use rhythms that are in some ways similar to Ashkenazi Jewish liturgical melodies but employ more exotic tunings (like JI and 31-tone equal temperament) and rhythms (such as Scotch snaps). Art music set to those liturgical poems also exists.
M
- Mangeanism (placeholder name): A pre-Ascent Abrahamic religion stemming from Second Temple Judaism. It was a stem-Christianity; they consider "St. Jesus of Nazareth" to be their founder but he's neither divine nor the messianic king prophesied in the Hebrew Bible. Its sacred texts are called the Scrolls: the Old Scrolls (Hebrew Bible), the Middle Scrolls and the New Scrolls. It also has a recorded oral tradition of Saints and interpretations of Scroll teachings. Its liturgical language is a quasi-Old French.
