Was it Klaus from your class? I bet it's Klaus from your class ---------------------------- QUOTE(TheCheshireKhajiit @ Jul 31 2020, 03:46 PM) QUOTE(mirocu @ Jul 31 2020, 03:37 AM) Oh! The beginning of the end for Brigette! Nice pics. I like seeing the temple again without having to go through it again The name Kuei-Jin is interesting, btw. While I don't know about Kuei, I do know that the Arab word for demon is Djinn, which is where the word genie comes from, as in genie in a bottle. Quite appropriate that the Kuei-Jin calls themselves that. According to the wiki, the name is a mashup of Chinese ( Kuei, meaning ghost), and Japanese ( jin, meaning person). Here€™s a copy of the entry: Etymology
Ostensibly, the name "Kuei-jin" is supposed to represent the two major cultures involved, with the Mandarin ghost (鬼, kuei) and Japanese person (人, jin) being combined into a single name. Unfortunately, this would only make sense with Western audiences, and wouldn't make any sense at all with the writing systems of the cultures in question.
The same root writing system is used for both Mandarin Chinese and Japanese. A Chinese speaker seeing 鬼人 would read it as "guei-ren" (ghost person), while a Japanese speaker seeing the same characters would read it as "oni-bito" or "ki-jin" which refers to the Kun/On readings of the characters (ogre/demon person). While the meaning remains the same, there is no way to write the phrase in a manner which would be read as "kuei-jin" by either culture, unless using a Western alphabet.Yes, I know that jin is person in Japanese but I don't believe in coincidences and while you spell it differently, djinn being demon in Arab seems quite fitting for the Eastern vampires "Ghost person/demon" This post has been edited by mirocu: Jul 31 2020, 03:28 PM
