A collection of 5×5 palindromic word squares in different languages, similar to the original Sator Square.
The words can be read across, down, and backwards while preserving the square's symmetry.
Some squares include one proper noun or invented name, like Arepo in the original Sator Square,
but only when it allows for a relatively strong grammatical reading.
When all five words are real words, somewhat looser grammar is allowed.
