Core Glossary
Core Glossary — 2 Peter (English–Bodo)
This glossary consolidates every load-bearing theological term identified in 07_semantic_analysis.md across all three chapters of 2 Peter, plus the core passage (1:16–21). Terms already present in the Romans baseline translation_memory.json are marked [REUSED] and must be used exactly as recorded there — no deviation permitted. Terms newly required by 2 Peter are marked [NEW] and are provisional pending Bodo-speaking theologian confirmation, following the same convention the baseline itself used for its own provisional compounds.
Risk tiers (Critical / High / Medium / Low) follow the definitions in doctrine_risk_registry.json.

No chapter of 2 Peter was found to contribute zero new theological vocabulary; all three chapters required dedicated term analysis, in addition to the verse-by-verse treatment of the core passage (1:16–21).
This glossary must be loaded alongside the Romans baseline translation_memory.json for Phase 2 processing. All [NEW] terms above require theologian confirmation and version-increment recording into translation memory before Phase 2 segment translation begins, per the enforcement workflow in 12_ai_translation_requirements.md.
Critical Risk Terms

Jesus
Approved rendering: जिसु

Category: God
Inherited from Romans package, verbatim; ALWAYS in full, never bare देउ/आत्था. In 2 Peter this term carries the single highest collision risk in the book at 1:21 (carried along by the Holy Spirit) — see men_spoke_from_god and carried_along_by_spirit in Section B, which must always be taught alongside this entry with an explicit doudini-trance-possession distinguishing note.
Grace
Approved rendering: मोफादांनाय दान
Transliteration: mwphwdangnai daan

Original: σωτηρία
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package, verbatim. Occurs 2 Peter 3:15, explicitly linked to God’s patience; explanatory note required at first appearance in any 2 Peter lesson per baseline system-prompt rule 4, since Bathouism has no developed eschatological salvation concept.

Transliteration: Isornni gwra
Doctrine: Sonship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: देवता गोरा (a lesser divine being’s son, an explicit downgrade)
