Re: [1597] so this is what happens
Can anyone review the family structures here? There is glasses greatgrandma from 1490 linked above, Komugiko's mom who we saw in some group pic once, Komugiko, and her daughter Yakugashi. Over here we have allegedly-adopted grandma, and her granddaughter Megumi. Which means there has to be a son or...

Re: [1586] Chapter 13 - Redemption
(The fact that many cultures expect children to refer to non-related adults like friends of the family as "aunt" and "uncle" should be obvious enough not to need stating, and should make it quite clear that "not completely meaningless" still doesn't give much ground yet for sussing out actual relat...

Re: Kotone
Assuming your "chotonne" is actually Japanese (where it would normally be "chotto ne")... In Japanese, "cho" and "ko" are completely different phonemes. It'd be like equating English "child" and "killed". (And that's leaving off the consideration that "Kotone" is 3 mora, and "chotto ne" is 4.)

Re: [1541] Something to say to you
Also is that name just a pun? Combining "moe" with suffix "-ko"? I think it was meant that way when Fred first came up with it. A stereotypical name for a magical girl. Now we know there's a real Moeko, so presumeably her parents actually named her that. I guess it's no weirder than some names that...

Re: Confessions of a beginner translator
I suggest using wwwjdic.com for lists of kanji used for homophones, though you'll have to have a way enter the kana to generate it, as entering Latin characters will result in an attempt to translate English to Japanese. If you're using a Windows computer, you can use the character map accessory to ...

You don't mention this, so I don't want to assume that you didn't take this into account, but I think it's worth pointing out that a large part of the humor there is because the scene itself is about a mistranslation. Junko's "chikan" was described somewhere (I assume forums, not sure now sorry) as...

Hm... Miho is simultaneously too young (apparent age ~18) and too old (actual age: over 100?) to be an "obasan" (aunt, or middle aged woman, regardless of relation.)

Have we verified that Head Ninja from 639 is the same as Junpei's grandmother? My old impression was that Head Ninja was male, but looking at it today I see that Head Ninja's gender is hidden under the black robe and hood.

You mean Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang? Never heard of 'em. Sounds like a Grimm tale, though.
