''INITIATION DRAFT — This glossary is divided into three sections to respect the distinctions between Tsm̱syen (Sm’algyax), Gitxsan, and Nisg̱a’a.
Each word will have its own page using the standard template (Root → Variants → Language Forms → Examples).
This index will expand as new terms are added.''
