|  | Sanasán, Jisho, and other unpronounceable words... « Thread Started on Jun 13, 2004, 6:38am » | |
In the interest of easy access for other Bards, here’s a glossary (Sanasán, Jisho...hehe, I crack myself up) of sorts for the foreign words used by myself and a couple others. With luck, these should be handily C&Pable for anyone looking to add a word or two to their posts (including me! :snicker ). So here goes nothin’!

*máthair (MAY-hair) = mother
*Máthair as an Tua = Mother of the Axe
*mo = my

I will edit this entry with new words as they make their appearances in the posts.
But, since my computer keeps passing out because of the heat lately I will just start with the current post and then I'll edit to include the other stuff later.
Yoroshiku yoroshiku = "Pleased to meet you." oukami = wolf (when first letter is capitalized it refers to the Wolf Spirit) Mori-no-kami = Forest-diety kami = god/spirit/diety Oukami-sama = Lady Wolf
Precious Things. iie = "no" Doko ni = "where (to/at)" Anou.. = "um.." Hai = "yes" Doumo Arigatou gozaimasu = "Thank You Very Much" hakama = skirtlike pants, mainly worn by men/samurai maiko = young 'geisha-in-training' attendants to the geisha. usually perform dances. obi = the broad distinctive sash that wraps around a kimono at the waist.
