Шаблон:Short description

This is a list of terminology used in the fictional Dune universe created by Frank Herbert, the primary source being "Terminology of the Imperium", the glossary contained in the novel Dune (1965).

Dune word construction could be classified into three domains of vocabulary, each marked with its own neology: the names and terms related to the politics and culture of the Galactic Empire, the names and terms characteristic of the mystic sodality of the Bene Gesserit, and the barely displaced Arabic of the Fremen language. Fremen share vocabulary for Arrakeen phenomena with the Empire, but use completely different vocabulary for Bene Gesserit-implanted messianic religion.[1]

Due to the similarities between some of Herbert's terms and ideas and actual words and concepts in the Arabic and Hebrew languages Шаблон:Mdash as well as the series' "Islamic undertones" and themes Шаблон:Mdash a Middle Eastern influence on Herbert's works has been noted repeatedly.[1][2] There are over eighty terms used of Arabic origin, several other loanwords from Indo-European languages such as German and Persian, and words from the North American Na-Dene language Navajo.[3]

  • Baliset – "Nine-stringed musical instrument, lineal descendant of the zithra, tuned to the Chusuk scale and played by strumming. Favorite instrument of Imperial troubadours."[4] Gurney Halleck is a master at playing the baliset in the series.[5] In David Lynch's 1984 adaptation of Dune, a cosmetically altered Chapman Stick was used to portray the instrument.[10] In the miniseries Frank Herbert's Dune, the baliset resembles a renaissance-era lute, with the pegbox bent back almost 90°. A real-world version of the baliset has been created, divided into two sections, the treble played with the right hand, and the bass the left. Unlike a guitar, each hand can play either chords or separate notes.[11]

  • Lasgun – Handheld energy weapon, technically a "continuous-wave laser projector;"[4] also lasegun.
  • Laza tiger – A breed of tiger brought to Salusa Secundus "almost eight thousand years" before the events of Children of Dune. "Genetic manipulation of the ancient Terran stock had erased some of the original tiger features and refined other elements. The fangs remained long. Their faces were wide, eyes alert and intelligent. The paws were enlarged to give them support on uneven terrain and their sheathed claws could extend some ten centimeters, sharpened at the ends into razor tips by abrasive compression of the sheath. Their coats were a flat and even tan which made them almost invisible against sand."[20]
  • Levenbrech – A military rank that is roughly in between a sergeant and a lieutenant.[20]
  • Lisan al Gaib – (Arabic: لسان الغيب - 'The tongue of the unseen') The Fremen term for an off-world prophet or messiah. It is "The Voice from the Outer World" and is outlined in Fremen messianic legends heavily influenced by the Bene Gesserit's Missionaria Protectiva. It is also translated as the "Giver of Water". A phrase of Arabic origin meaning "Tongue of the Unseen".[3]
  • Little Maker – The "half-plant-half-animal deep-sand vector of the Arrakis sandworm", whose "excretions form the pre-spice mass."[4] Also known as "sandtrout," they represent an early stage in the life cycle of the worm.

This creature is admired by Fremen for its ability to survive in the open desert."[4] In Dune, Paul Atreides takes "Muad'Dib" as his Fremen name, which takes on greater significance when he is perceived as a messiah.

Capable of breathing underwater as well as on land, they are used by the Honored Matres on Buzzell to harvest valuable soostones from the sea.[19]

  • Siridar – A planetary governor.[22]
  • Slig – A livestock animal which is the hybrid of a large slug and a pig, created by the Tleilaxu and considered a culinary delicacy.[8] The Tleilaxu themselves do not consume the animals, having designed them to facilitate what they see as the degrading decadence and spiritual bankruptcy of all cultures but their own.

  • Suspensor – Any of a number of 'hovering' devices which utilize the "secondary (low-drain) phase of a Holtzman field generator" to nullify gravity "within certain limits prescribed by relative mass and energy consumption."[4] In Dune, the obese Baron Harkonnen uses suspensors to support his massive weight.[5] Hunter-seekers also use suspensor fields for propulsion, which make them slippery and hard to grasp.[5]
