Talk:Bokusenō

Tree species
In the Art of InuYasha book, Bokusen'on's name is translated to "Grandfather Wizard Nettle Tree". Since we now have a source, should we change the species in physical description section? Oh, the page number is 158. Ryoga (talk) 13:08, September 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * I feel like my translation is more accurate. While 朴 can be translated as "Nettle Tree", it doesn't really make sense in context, since he isn't one (Bokusenō's species is based on the manga; the translation of his name wouldn't have any effect on that information, contradictory though it might be). Secondly, anyone who translates 仙 as "wizard" isn't doing a very thorough job, and "old" is a much better translation for 翁 than "grandfather." Again, it sounds like it was a very lazy translator.--Lord Hyōga Tree of Ages 22:31, September 18, 2013 (UTC)
