  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Sheesh people, don't trust online translation dictionaries!

Here is something I found awhile back that explains what I have been trying to get people to understand forever :wave: :
"The kanji compound "yasha" 「夜叉」 does not have only one meaning. Unfortunately, the online Japanese-English dictionary hosted by Jim Breen only has this meaning, but that entry isn't entirely accurate. Someone even emailed me saying that "yasha" means "fly by night," but this person isn't correct, either. "Yasha" is regarded as being a male demon rather than a female one in Japan. "Yasha" is derived from Yaksha (masculine noun) in Sanskrit; its feminine noun is Yakshini. In Buddism, "yasha" were pagan flying devils, some of which were converted into Buddism to become demons that guard Buddha. But since feudal times, the Japanese have referred to "yasha" as being man-eating demons. Rumiko Takahashi probably named Inuyasha after the latter sense."

Inuyasha means "Dog Knight," I believe... At least that is the translation I heard.

They don't really have "knights" in Japan. The closest thing would be "Samurai" or the group of warrior vassals called "Bushi" (from where the warrior code "Bushi-do" comes)

See anaidnotrevo very nice post above on the etymology of "Yasha"
