Still don't know who that is.

Oh well, never mind.

Naizu is a pun of "Mayonnaise"

Neiz: [D10]
From “mayonnaise”
Source Spelling:: マヨネーズ/mayoneezu
Name Spelling: ネイズ/Neizu

The more the better.

[Amigo Ten]

Okay... I meant I have no idea what character it is.

[SilverPlaqueVII]

Naizu (for my naming conventions) is indeed Neiz or Neizu from Coola's henchmen in Movie 5.

[Herms]

Still don't know who that is.

He's one of the Coola Armored Squard: a big, lanky, reddish brown frog-like guy who can tuck his head up into his body like a turtle. He has this electricity attack, but Piccolo is immune to it, and kills him. Here's his D7 bio.

Nice tip, Jake. He looks a lot like Bautta (Burta) and Gulurdo (Ghurd) as well.

Why the "sz"? It's unnecessary and just looks weird. Use "Jeese" or "Jeece" because they just look better.

Gulurdo

His romanized name is "Gurudo" not "Gururudo", so that "r" you've put after the "u" is incorrect. Use "Guludo" or "Guldo".

Bautta

I don't know if you've noticed, but "Bautta" is pronounced "Ba-ootta" which is incorrect. Use "Batta" or "Butta".

Reakoomu

His romanized name is "Rikuumu", so I don't know where you're getting that "a" from. Use "Recoom" or "Recoome".

[Amigo Ten]

Reakoomu

His romanized name is "Rikuumu", so I don't know where you're getting that "a" from. Use "Recoom" or "Recoome".

I'd assume he got it from Viz's "Reacoom", and I would assume they added it in to try and work some kind of recognisable pun on "cream" into the name, since it's pretty far removed from it in terms of English pronunciation.

That's all well and good, but you can't just go adding letters that have completely sounds.

Aren't you one of the people who always argues that "Frieza" is a legitimate transliteration...?

Anyway, you are aware that "cream" isn't pronounced "kree-am", yes? It doesn't have to change anything.

I'm not sure what you mean (if only because you messed up the end of that sentence).

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

I assume you mean "Frieza". I argue that it's a legitimate transliteration because there is a long "i" sound in Freeza's Japanese name that can be adapted as "ei" and in almost every case, "ie" is pronounced as "ee".

Anyway, you are aware that "cream" isn't pronounced "kree-am", yes? It doesn't have to change anything

Good point, but a lot of confusion can come out of how you pronounce "Reacoom". For example, I mispronounced it.

I meant "completely different sounds", referring to "e" and "a".

I did too before I understood it. But I really like the "Reacoom" spelling, so I'll defend it beyond reason if I have to.

[linkdude20002001]

I meant "completely different sounds", referring to "e" and "a".

Depending on the word, they can both make the same "uh" sound. The and about. I suppose it depends on the accent though.

Or Jhees.

Gulurdo

Even GhurdoI can use.

Bautta

Possibly Burta.

Reakoomu

His romanized name is "Rikuumu", so I don't know where you're getting that "a" from. Use "Recoom" or "Recoome".[/quote]

For my conventions, I'll try Recoom.

Randosel Town
In keeping with the school theme for some of the character/place names during Gohan’s stint as a high school student, this comes directly from ランドセル/randoseru, “backpack” or “satchel”, which derives from the German raenzel. Accordingly, in Viz the place is called “Backpack Town”.
Source Spelling: ランドセル/randoseru
Name Spelling: same

Just an observation.
It may be a veeeeery little detail, but in japanese dictionary (kokugo jiten) is said that "randoseru" comes from Netherlands word ransel.

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

You necroposted in a seven month old thread for that?

[EnmaDaiou]

This post is part of a lot of Herm's works.

He made an incredible job.
I think a thread like this will never be old.
I'm sure he spent a lot of time doing this.

And the thread is a reference for me.
He always warn and show details.
So, I think it's fair to help. Even with little details.

By the way, the index of herm's threads is fixed on top of the discussion forum.
So, I don't think this is "just an old thread".

That's why I posted here.

Found it weird to see a "new" thread with this many pages.

Dutch word. xP
