TAHADDI AL-BURHAN An ultimate test from which there can be no appeal (usually because it brings death or destruction).

SUBAK UN NAR "I am well. And you?": traditional reply.

SUSPENSOR Secondary (low-drain) phase of a Holtzman field generator. It nullifies gravity within certain limits prescribed by relative mass and energy consumption.

SPICE See Melange.

TAHADDI CHALLENGE Fremen challenge to mortal combat, usually to test some primal issue.

TIDAL DUST BASIN Any of the extensive depressions in the surface of Arrakis which have been filled with dust over the centuries and in which actual dust tides (see Sandtides) have been measured.

TRUTHTRANCE Semihypnotic trance induced by one of several "awareness spectrum" narcotics in which the petit betrayals of deliberate falsehood are apparent to the truthtrance observer. (Note: "awareness spectrum" narcotics are frequently fatal except to desensitized individuals capable of transforming the poison-configuration within their own bodies.)
