Oh, but the wikipedia ( no idea where to get my sources ) says its "Himiko (姫巫女?)" and on googling "Himeko" and "Himiko", I found that the first refers to a female, while the other, a queen. Thus, I am lost. Do you know? Oh, so its wikitionary. Ok. I wanted to change them. But google is unreliable when its with the simplified Chinese words. I tried this word in the wikitionary, 菩提, no luck too. Any ideas how to? Thanks for your help and info! - Rukiabankai (talk) 10:27, 7 June 2013 (CDT)

For wiktionary, you can only do that with one kanji. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E9%A1%98 for example. And Himeko is, I think, just the name of the little girl. Wikipedia says: 'Himeko is an uncommon Japanese feminine given name.' But I'm no expert in these things. ;-) --Thuruk (talk) 22:14, 7 June 2013 (CDT)

I see. I guess I will leave it for someone to do as I prefer editing. However, if no one does it I will follow your method. Though it sounds tedious :) Also, I watched the anime, they refer her as 'Himiko'. Well, I guess I too am not an expert. Thus, i will leave it to the translator. Thanks for your help. - Rukiabankai (talk) 07:24, 8 June 2013 (CDT)

Hey, I checked in the raws, and it's really pronounced Himiko. Guess I have to warn tarmade about that. I did never check it since he translated the name... Thanks! --Thuruk (talk) 11:31, 8 June 2013 (CDT)

Alright! it has been cleared. So, Himiko stands corrected. I am glad. Thanks. Oh, I see Tarmade always use 'harquebus ' instead of "arquebus". Could you check it out too? If possible. I was using 'arquebus' since its from the previous volumes. - Rukiabankai (talk) 00:56, 9 June 2013 (CDT)

たねがしま 種子島 is either spelt harquebus or arquebus, that's up for the translator to decide. But we should use one of them consistently. --Thuruk (talk) 11:10, 9 June 2013 (CDT)

oh. thanks. Yes, so if like this, I will use arquebus. As the previous volumes are using it. - Rukiabankai (talk) 02:05, 10 June 2013 (CDT)

Ok, but please notify tarmade, as he is using arquebus. You know, edit wars... ;-) --Thuruk (talk) 16:57, 10 June 2013 (CDT)
