'''[SYMBOL]''': This defines a category of words which works with the [SELECT_SYMBOL] and [CULL_SYMBOL] arguments in the corresponding [[Entity token|entity file]], using these [[Entity_token#Flavor|"flavor" tokens]] to create a list of words which your civilization will prefer to use, and those it will never use. For instance, dwarves by default have [SELECT_SYMBOL:ALL:ARTIFICE] and [CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:FLOWERY]. This means that dwarven surnames, placenames and group names will tend to use words in the [SYMBOL:ARTIFICE] list (such as ''cloister'', ''hammer'' and ''steel'') and will never use words from the [SYMBOL:FLOWERY] list (such as ''butterfly'', ''meadow'' and ''velvet''). Under each [SYMBOL] heading, all possible words are listed in the form [S_WORD:word].
