  • cenny (from Greek κοινωνία): a Josephan place of worship.

J

  • Josephanism (placeholder name): A pre-Ascent Abrahamic religion stemming from an early Christian sect. It considers Jesus ("St. Jesus of Nazareth") to be a man who fulfilled the prophecy of a suffering figure (Messiah ben Joseph) who heralds the actual messianic king (Messiah ben David). 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.

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 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.
