Fire= faia
Wind=uindo
Water=mizu
Earth=tsuchi
Lightning=denkou

Manage to get this translation....

For lion, i think the word 'raion' fit better as it hold only one meaning if
you translate it back to english...

Fire= faia
Wind=uindo

Interesting, this two seems like the english words but pronunced by japaneses.

There are a lot of words like that. They even use a different alphabet to represent them as they are "borrowed" words. I somehow doubt that "fire" is an example of this though since you'd think Japan would have created a word for that before they ran into English speaking people.

There alot of other translation for fire.
But Faia is the most nearest as it hold only 1 meaning which is only fire.
The rest of the word say like hazard or more..

Is'nt it a well known fact that Japanese can never be 100% translated into english. Or is that Chinese?

That's any language on the face of the earth being translated into any other language on the face of the earth.

"Faia" and "uindo" would just be how Japanese people will say "Fire" and "wind."

In Japanese, the Fire Rune is called "Hi no monsho" and Wind Rune is called "Kaze no Monsho."

angry dragon = "Ikari no Ryuu no Monsho"

shirke = "Mozu no Monsho"

swalow = "Tsubame Gaeshi no Monsho"

water = "Mizu no Monsho"

earth = "Tsuchi no Monsho"

darkness = "Yami no Monsho"

boar = "Shishi no Monsho"

lightning = "Kaminari no Monsho"

The boar rune is an interesting case, because it's pretty much a mistranslation. "Shishi" means "Lion" in Japanese, and boar would be "Inoshishi."

that's why you see Lion Rune replacing Boar Rune for martial artists in the later games. but they might have different pictures too.. -_-

only a little question:

"no Monsho" means "Rune" ???

CJack14dt · Post by **CJack14dt** » Wed Feb 28, 2007 12:52 pm

technically it would translate as 's Rune.

So literally ex. Reimei no Monsho= Dawn's Rune

ShonnyS · Post by **ShonnyS** » Wed Feb 28, 2007 12:56 pm

so "no" its like "'s" and "monsho" "Rune"
thanx!

In other cases, words like "emblem" or "crest" take precendent.

But, for Suikoden, Konami chose the "rune" translation.

(This is also the explanation underlying the "Zexen Rune" mistranslation)

Is soposed the true runes are the jewels ( emblems or crests ) that the initial shield and sword have. Its not so strange to think the runes are the same than a crest or emblems.
