In the modern era, Kiravic has avoided directly borrowing scientific and technical terms from [[Hekuvian Latin|Latin]], Ænglish, and other Western languages. The writing guides most commonly followed by Kiravian scientific journals all discourage direct borrowings, and prescribe formulas for translating Western terms into Kiravic, most often by {{wp|calque|calquing}}.

Professional institutions such as the Kiravian Astronomical Academy (''Kiravix Iselrakénax Lárutovarum'') and the Kiravian Chemical Society (''Kiravix Ğislokénax Askola'') play an important role in formally defining Kiravic scientific nomenclature and creating paradigms to derive new words as needed. | ||
A significant number of Kiravian scientific terms, however, are original coinages, some of which predate Western discoveries. For example, the phenomenon of {{wp|synaesthesia|synæsthesia}}, known as ''télar'' in Kiravic and High Coscivian, has been known to [[Coscivian civilisation]] for millennia. The Kiravic word for {{wp|diuresis}}, ''śgrulva'', is attested in writing as early as 20542 (1362), and occurs frequently in common parlance. | A significant number of Kiravian scientific terms, however, are original coinages, some of which predate Western discoveries.
