@thevglibrary@bookstodon Can anyone read the #kanji? The #furigana below them read kon-to-ra, so I imagine the kanji are just used for their phonetic pronunciation? I'd love to know what someone who can actually read kanji thinks!
The kanji seem to be used only phonetically as sound components (on readings):
気 = spirit or soul, "kon"
斗 = laddle or dipper, "to"
羅 = used phonetically, "ra".
At least I couldn't find any other coherent meaning in my kanji dictionary 😄
@chris@thevglibrary@bookstodon Thanks for that! I'd like to think the "spirit ladle" refers to the tool used to extract the soul from your body if you try to play it without 30 lives 😂
@bctnry@chris@thevglibrary@bookstodon This is fascinating. I knew this happened but did not know the name for it, nor any of the examples it gives. Thanks for enlightening me!
@thraximundar Hello, I could be a bit tired, so I'm not quite certain what you mean by the #kanji being used for their phonetic pronunciation. But the kanji does indeed read as "コントラ". ৻( •̀ ᗜ •́ ৻)
