| Dec 26, 2019 at 4:29 | comment | added | A C | I can't quite grasp the context in which it would be appropriate to use those descriptions of the author's terms... I'd think "Glossary [of Terms]" or something would suffice for the appendix; there's no need to explicitly focus on these being made-up words. Alternately, if this is fun-fiction (sci-fi/fantasy) then I might go in-universe (e.g. "Offworlder's Guide to Centauri-speak"). Either way, "Appendix of made up words" sounds derisive to me. | |
