This is my first time DMing a githyanki, and Im trying to get all information I can (I just love them, so much that I want to make it well).

Im using Dragon 309 and Dungeon 100, and I also have Guide to the Astral Plane. Is there any other book were I can get more information?

Im also interested in a githyanki dictionary... does it exist?

Hope you can help.

Gis'telka: The githyanki language

(Note: While there are no specificly gendered words, a few have gotten that way through time. For example, "gisir" technically means 'ruler', but it is generally assumed nowadaysthat whoever the "gisir" is, is female.

I'll try to keep notes in here on these things, but you never know..
Additional: While the sections are divided up by verb, noun, whatever, that's
simply for ease of use. All the verb/noun/adjectives listed are classified as shoja, und so witer.)
