Throughout this whole article, unless differently specified, Yunyalīlti concepts will be presented according to the Chlouvānem tradition. Even if the doctrine is controlled by the Inquisition, rites in the various Yunyalīlti areas vary, as do cultural implications which arose through syncretism with pre-Yunyalīlti religious forms and practices; this applies even to the core Chlouvānem area. Concepts typical of a certain, non-Chlouvānem Yunyalīlti tradition, will be presented, if necessary, with their native terms. Terms are cited in Chlouvānem and, if a faithful translation is possible, in English; terms for Yunyalīlti concepts in languages different from Chlouvānem are usually phonologically adapted loans - cf. ''Lillamurḍhyā'' being ''Lilamuṛdjá'' in [[Qualdomelic]], ''Ligamotriyá'' in [[Brono-Fathanic|Bronic]], and ''Ṅiṅamurdjiá'' in [[Holenagic]] amongst others. As in all Chlouvānem-related articles, millennia are usually specified in base 10 numbers. | Throughout this whole article, unless differently specified, Yunyalīlti concepts will be presented according to the Chlouvānem tradition.

The Yunyalīlta may be described as a nontheist or a pantheist and animist religion: there is no notion of a God or Gods as omnipotent and supernatural beings that are above all, but nature (''yunya'') herself is treated as a godlike element. "Godlike" supernatural beings (''kaihai''), incarnating various traits of the ''yunya'', are however present in folklore and are most probably syncretic remnants of a pagan pre-Yunyalīlti shamanism.<br/> | The Yunyalīlta may be described as a nontheist or a pantheist and animist religion: there is no notion of a God or Gods as omnipotent and supernatural beings that are above all, but nature (''yunya'') herself is treated as a godlike element.
