A terranization is a neologism or different use of a standard word created to express an Asdaran concept. A terranization in theory corresponds to a word in an Asdaran language. The original Asdaran word may not have yet been invented as part of an implied constructed language or the word may exist in its own form in several implied constructed languages. Example terranizations include Titancraft and Riven. The reason a terranization is employed is because in some instances the meaning is more transparent and because the term may in fact be a 'wander-word' that exists under different forms in various languages. Transliterating the term from a specific language does not convey its international sense.
