Do you mean Kwisatz Haderach and gom jabbar?
I mean the very first page has:
Paul lay awake wondering: What’s a gom jabbar?
And on the next page:
He mouthed her strange words: Gom jabbar … Kwisatz Haderach.
So, it's not like the book expects you to know what they mean. The protagonist himself doesn't know what they mean!
I totally appreciate differences in taste but giving up after two pages when the prose itself acknowledges that these are storage words seems a bit odd.
