Names and Unique Vocabulary

Ok, there's a lot of words Pullman has made up for this story, and some of the names are interesting too. Pantalaimon, daemon, alethiometer, etc. I've heard it said that unique vocabulary is often symbolic to underlying themes and messages in the story. For example, daimon was a term used by Socrates to describe something that helped him with his judgement, and it was this that led to the term 'guardian angel' in use today. Any other thoughts? Anyone interesting in compiling a list of unique vocabulary? Also, are the words 'right', 'wrong', 'good' or 'evil' ever used in the book?
