Talk:Horo Horo no Mi

Horo=Ghost
I think its been pointed out on wikipedia but when you type in "ghost" in a translator you get:

konpaku, rei, bourei, yuurei, youma, go-suto

Come up for all meaning ghost... Where is Horo? Horo brings up nothing when you reverse translation, the average Japanese to english dictionary can't find it. It can't find "ホロ" on most translation either but Babel says "hollow". I believe we need to remove that "ghost" thing, its incorrect. One-Winged Hawk 18:04, 3 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Not exactly sure, since I'm not a translator, but I think it somehow has to do with the fact that Horo can mean ghost in a different dialect of Japanese or something like that. In any case, maybe it would be best to try the word out on several more translation sites or ask a translator directly on the matter. Also from experience, Babelfish isn't necessarily a good translating site in some areas.Mugiwara Franky 09:49, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I didn't use babel translation. There is a ghost called a "hallow" (rarely can find info on it), but not its not Japanese folklore.  One-Winged Hawk 14:42, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Hollow or Horror
I always thought horo is from horror, that would make more sense, both in pronunciation and meaning
