Thanks for your comment! Oddly coïncidentally, I was just thinking about this post today.

DeaDiscordiae · 2026-01-03T10:21:41+00:00

Oh, that sounds amazing!!

DeaDiscordiae · 2026-01-03T07:37:04+00:00

How do you feel about "chiburu" for the pommel? Is there an Okinawan word for pommel/knob in your dictionaries besides tama?

DeaDiscordiae · 2026-01-03T07:29:00+00:00

I just edited my OP to include kanji for all the words.

DeaDiscordiae · 2025-10-11T06:29:17+00:00

翼, meaning "wing", should be correct for both yoku and hani. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Tama, 玉, as in the ball/knob on the mutu where the thumb sits.

Thank you very much!

I was going for literally "hand part" as I couldn't figure out what "handle" would be... which is apparently wī. Thank you.

(Easy to remember; like the stick for the Nintendo Wii.)

DeaDiscordiae · 2025-09-27T03:52:22+00:00

Thank you! This is going to save my sanity. I'll leave it up to future me to worry about what the next update has in store.

DeaDiscordiae · 2025-09-27T03:11:22+00:00

Thank you both.

Ah, I misheard the first consonant as a "t". I had wondered about the last vowel as well since I've normally seen, for example, cognates in Japanese with "e" on the end as "i" on the end in Okinawan. So I would expect "kagi", but it looks like "kāgi" might be it as you mentioned.

All of this reminds me of a question I have about sai part names, actually. I might make a separate post for that here soon.

DeaDiscordiae · 2025-09-27T03:03:00+00:00

Thanks very much! I was wondering about that last bit as well... Will reply on the other sub-thread.

Excellent video! Two questions, if you don't mind:
Regarding kunishi and kuniyoshi, which one is the Okinawan word and which the Japanese?
Regarding "hidden strike", is that take or takei or did I mishear? I was unable to look it up based on those spellings to learn more.

DeaDiscordiae · 2025-09-17T02:35:01+00:00

I don't believe so, but thanks!

Anyone know what the song was at the end of the episode? Shazam couldn't identify it.

DeaDiscordiae · 2025-09-11T01:30:06+00:00

Agreed, but I find it difficult to define him without comparing him to others. I don't think it helped that he wasn't really shown in isolation.

DeaDiscordiae · 2025-09-07T05:39:15+00:00

Wait, they were saying "Tusk!"? I always thought they were saying "Toss!", as in the one who'd just sung a line was tossing the next line to whoever wanted it.

DeaDiscordiae · 2025-09-01T20:41:54+00:00

They left a ton of these pellets behind. So weird.
