(notes: 1) the words given here for victory/defeat are only used in the context of war/Great Conflicts; the more casual words for “to win” and “to lose” are గెలవడం [gelavadam] and ఓడిపోవడం [odipovadam], 2) with the exception of “gun,” this list is meant to describe wars of old, though some of these terms may still be relevant. 3) the telugu translation for the word “lance” is typed incorrectly because google translate, etc. can’t handle telugu ig? the second letter should look like the one below:)
