Zhilikam t'°Solek-Masutra°

Vulcans of all ages have long had a fascination with the literary works of other worlds. The Earthsea series of books from Earth in the 20th Century C.E. have fascinated people across the Federation and beyond. The Earthsea books by Ursula K. LeGuin are avidly read, reread and discussed by Vulcans, Klingons, Andorians, Denobulans and particularly peoples of watery planets.

Below you will find a sampling of vocabulary that you may find associated with the Earthsea® books. This page does not contain anything specifically associated with the television mini-series at this time. (Names are listed in pure alphabetical order by title, first name then last name, since names are sorted using the Vulcan standard here.)
