"FINIS"

Latin: End.

"KHEM"

Egypt. Also, during Crowley's primary learning period, Egyptologists thought Khem was the name of a god now known to be Min, so he often refers to "the god Khem."

"AMENNTI"

Egyptian underworld.

"KITHARION (OTHER THAN A MOUNTIAN)"

What context?

"FALUTLI"

You'll only find this a couple of places. No literal translation given, except in context in Vision & the Voice and Liber VII (IIRC). By at least one manner of counting, it enumerates to 156.

"OAI (DIFFERENT THAN IAO??)"

Sure, it's IAO backwards

"FIAT (26& LATIN 4 ELEMENTS)"

Latin for "Let there be." For example, Fiat Lux = "Let there be light."

KITHARION i found it in the vision and the voice aethry 12:

And this is the comedy of Pan, that is played at night in the thick forest. And this is the mystery of Dionysus Zagreus, that is celebrated upon the holy mountain of Kithairon. And this is the secret of the brothers of the Rosy Cross; and this is the heart of the ritual that is accomplished in the Vault of the Adepts that is hidden in the Mountain of the Caverns, even the Holy Mountain Abiegnus

I was confused that you said other than the reference to the mountain by that name.

Perhaps you were, instead, asking for information about that particular mountain. It's one of the most common locations for events in Greek myths, second only to Olympus. From a Google search, here are some links:

Wikipedia entry (in German - no entry exists in the English Wikipedia - but you can translate that easily enough with your browser): de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kithairon

Discussion of moutain as being, itself, a god (mountain spirit &c.) - various myths relating to Zeus and the mountain.
www.theoi.com/Georgikos/OrosKithairon.html

Myth of Aktaion and how he was disclosed as the "stag" he really was - one of the most important of Artemis' myths. Several other myths involving the same mountain.

Relevance of the mountain to the Oedipus story (and thus to our old "friend" Thebes):

"another word i need help with is TRINC."

You have to read Gargantua y Pantagruel by Rabelais to get this - especially the part of Chapter 5 called "How Bacbuc explained the word of the Goddess-Bottle." There isn't a straight-out definition. It's a "mystery word" in the context of a story. The following "TRINC links" might help:

I read somewhere that "TRINC" uttered by the bottle itself is the bottle's attempt to say "DRINK". It comes out "TRINC" because it's being said by a glass bottle!

bethata418

Thyat would make a whole lotta sense except for the small detail that the original was written in French.
