Core Glossary

This curriculum’s glossary covers 47 terms drawn from Romans 1-16, each recorded in full in translation_memory.json with its approved Burmese rendering, transliteration, doctrine link, risk tier, and rejected alternatives.

Highest-priority terms for translator onboarding

Before translating any Romans segment, translators should be drilled on the eight Critical-risk terms first, since these carry the highest cost of error and the most tempting false-friend alternatives:

Term	Approved	Never use
Salvation	ကယ်တင်ခြင်း	နိဗ္ဗာန်ရောက်ခြင်း
Resurrection	ထမြောက်ခြင်း	ပဋိသန္ဓေတည်ခြင်း
Incarnation	လူ့ဇာတိခံယူခြင်း	ဘုရားလောင်းအဖြစ်မွေးဖွားခြင်း
Grace	ကျေးဇူးတော်	ကုသိုလ်
Messiah	မေရှိယ	မိတ္တေယျ
Holy Spirit	သန့်ရှင်းသောဝိညာဉ်တော်	ဝိညာဉ် (alone)
Father (of God)	အဖ	ဗြဟ္မာ
God	ဘုရားသခင်	ဘုရား (alone)

Glossary structure

The full glossary is bucketed by risk tier in the published bundle (glossary/risk-groups/), Critical first, so reviewers can prioritize their attention. Each entry records the doctrine it supports, so a reviewer flagged on a doctrine (e.g. Resurrection of Christ) can immediately see every term tied to that doctrine (raised, resurrection, from the dead).

Maintenance note

Any new term encountered during Phase 2 translation that is not yet in this glossary must be added to translation_memory.json before the segment is finalized, following the same fields and risk-assessment process documented in 12_ai_translation_requirements.md.
