Glossary

I have added a running glossary to the right side of the blog page. I excluded many common words, but it is otherwise comprehensive. I will add to it as occasion allows, since it helps me remember these words, too. Obviously, they are not in alphabetical order (I see nothing to be gained by such collation), but I have provided Japanese hiragana readings and romaji transliterations in addition to an English translation for each entry. Do alert me to any errors. Here is the first edition:
