Expanded Old Bactarian Vocabulary

I've changed the name from Ancient Bactarahad to Old Bactrian. In the fictional timeline of the language's development, Ancient Bactarian was the first form which is nearly identical to the lexicon mentioned below, except that the Ancient Bactarian forms of the words are in italics while Old Bactarian forms are displayed. After Ancient Bactarian came Old Bactarian, which this post and the previous one describe.

Old Bactarian was used in writing official documents of the Bactarian Empire as well in rituals in the capitol city. After the fall of Bactaria, the language went through an Intermediate phase for about 200 years and then became Modern or New Bactarian, which solidified over a simulated 500 year period.
