A


A: (Imperial English): The neutral-animate pronoun. Emperor Changdisliked the fact that there was no good Standard English pronoun thatreferred to a single individual of unknown sex, or where sex wasimmaterial, so he made use of the Celtic "a", often written with anaccent mark (á) by those who use Standard, to distinguish it from theindefinite article (@ is sometimes used when the printing/writingdevice cannot show accent marks). In Imperial English orthography, theCyrillic "ya" (reversed R) is used.

[Preparer's note: The @ symbol has been used throughout these storiesin the manner described above.]

ACADEMY: The Imperial Military Academy or Imperial AdministrativeAcademy. Both are headquartered in and have their most prestigiousfacilities in the Antarctica Palace Complex; "branch" Academies arelocated throughout the Empire.

Afterseeing the evidence, the Alanna instead asked Clan Miklos to convene aplanet-wide conference, and asked Clan Vader to rule on both Dana's andJason's actions.
