Talk:Mt. Colubo

How can I get the refernce to work? I'm wanting to reference the mentioning of Mt.Corbo is behind Windmill Village is mentioned in ch 582, pg 16. Oda states its Windmill Village, not Fushia, that Mt. Corbo is near.Katzztar 23:49, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

It's been fixed

Name sugestion
I'm not sure how the romanizations of the names in here work, but I sugest we change the name of this page to "Corvo Mountain", since Corvo is the translation to portuguese of "Crow". It's just a sugestion though, since I couldn't find any meaning to "Corbo".GMTails 03:09, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

Corbo is still a possibility because the French word for "raven" is corbeau (pronounced just like corbo). But since Oda's been using a lot of Portuguese words to name things it probably is corvo.


 * Actually I just noticed, both "crow" and "raven" are translated as "corvo" in portuguese, so I guess it's another multilanguage origin. GMTails 01:49, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

Why isn't this page called "mount Corvo"? I think the "Mt." is horrible... --Meganoide 15:05, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

It's still correct. And Mt. is used more often than Mount anyway. 15:14, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

I just noticed, but shouldn't the romanization be "Collubo"? I know it's horrible, but check this cover...

"Colubo" actually. Good catch.

...That's true...

Not enough evidence. Could just be the name of the fruit company. SeaTerror 17:36, December 23, 2011 (UTC)

Then why we renamed Bell-mère? Isn't the same case? As present tha page is named "Corvo" only because "Corvo" means "Crow" in Italian, nothing more... at least "Colubo" is not based on a whim.

P.S.: "Corvo" sounds better to me, but it's not a matter of taste.


 * ... beside we don't even know if it's a company... is like saying "Florida oranges".

One's the name of an actual person. I disagree with that name change too since its so damn crappy. Not really. Its in a crate. Crates only contain the name of the brand with stickers on the fruit stating what company it came from and what type it is. SeaTerror 18:20, December 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * There's no such rule. Plus it's a nonrealistic manga. Let's go with the simplest explanation. Come on, we do not have so many official romanizations that it allows us to disregard those we find.

If you look at the discussion above (our posts) the reason why "Corvo" was chosen was without any official basis (though reasonable). At least now we have some basis directly from the manga, even if that was the name of the company what do you think the company is named after? My point is simple: I agree with you on thinking that if the evidence is uncertain, then we should keep the safest one, but that's the point! "Colubo" is the safest one since "Corvo" has no official basis at all, will you still think the same if the cover was mentioned before the possibly Portuguese/Italian origins?

It's the same story when we found some possible romanization after the article was created only on the author's instinct.

That is the simplest explanation. I would say the name of the company would be named after the founder of the company like about 90% of the world's businesses. The fruit company Dole is named after its founder. SeaTerror 00:42, December 24, 2011 (UTC)

I say we just leave it until we find out more. Stuff like this is bound to turn up in an SBS sometime down the road. For now, leave it as is. 00:44, December 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's Chapter 615. We're up to 651... It won't turn up in an SBS now. Plus that's not an important question, especially for Japanese people.
 * Thing is, Corvo is now far more speculative than Colubo. I thought the wiki forbade speculation.

Why don't you ask Klobis or Jopfan before you get stuck up about something being speculative. 03:40, December 24, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah.. Ask Klobis..

@at SeaTerror: then who is "Colubo"? Again, we are all trying to stick with the safest thing, but as I pointed out before the safest thing should be a name written by Oda then a conjecture on our side. The thing about the mounted named after other language's words, should remain in the trivia/translation issue like we usually does (and it is now), besided it's not surprising that the actual romanization is a little off the real (possible) word which is named after. Rob Lucci is an example.

Wasn't Bellemere changed to Bell-mere cause of the 'From the decks' cover?? If yes, then we should do the same to Colubo...

I still think SeaTerror has a good point, though. The names are similar but Colubo could still just be the name of a fruit company. Corvo makes more sense since it actually translates to crow in Portuguese, a language used more than once in the series. 03:59, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

Come on, what do you think this hypothetic fruit company is named after? I think is far more speculative saying that "Colubo" is an completely different name or a person (in which case he would be a new character) and honestly I would have been more surprised if the romanization chosen by Oda was exactly the correct translation, because we have already seen cases where a name was intended to reflect some foreign word but there were some mistakes in the actual translation, like for example Rob Lucci.

I agree with Levi, it's far more speculative to go with the translation we have right now than to use a romanization that can be clearly seen in the manga. If Klobis or JOPF confirm that this romanization is possible for the japanese characters from the manga, then I completely agree that this article should be renamed.
