Eternally Frozen Wall (Eternal Glacier) Dub names are given after the original names of the locations, if different). Well, I've translated the names of the minor locations, now, though so far I've been unable to find what the sections of Floatia (it is called Floatia) are called. I've found a Japanese website that lists the names of the smaller areas in each region, too. ムゲンコルドロン = Mugen Cauldron / Infinity Cauldron There seem to be a lot of puns that went into the foreign place name "Ho-Neo." "Hone" is the Japanese word for "bone." "Neo," of course, is the Greek word for "new." "Honeori" (Ho-Neo Re-) means "pains," "efforts," "trouble," "labor," etc. I don't know what the area looks like, so I'm not sure what "fault" means in this context. I can see why the localizers didn't bother using a name that made sense. I thought it might be like Chikaino Grassland, but "ohgui" isn't a Japanese word or a word from any language as far as I can tell. No idea what "ohguino" is supposed to mean. "Chikai" is an adjective meaning "near." So if the "no" in the place name had been written with hiragana rather than katakana, it would literally translate to "Nearby Grassland." The way it's written, Chikaino looks like a proper noun / foreign name.Īnother instance where a Japanese word is turned into a foreign place name. If someone who knows Japanese better wants to weigh in, that would be great. I'll give the area's name in bold, followed by some explanatory notes if needed. Okay, I was able to find the original names, though much like Next Order's title they're rather stylized and thus difficult to translate.
