In which we explain why we missed a name.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Okay, so we all saw the NECH-EN name for the new Earth Pendulum Machine archetype in the OCG? Well, okay, some of you are complaining Qliphort is a bad name change. The thing is, Qliphort isn’t wrong, that’s an entirely accurate way of reading the Kana (written Japanese characters).<\/p>\n
The term Qliphoth is usually spelt \u30af\u30ea\u30d5\u30a9\u30c8(Kurifoto) in Japanese. However, the new monsters from New Challengers are spelt\u00a0\u30af\u30ea\u30d5\u30a9\u30fc\u30c8 \u00a0(Kurifo-to). Why is this relevant?<\/span><\/p>\n Because the\u00a0\u30fc mark lengthens the sound of the O, that gives it an r sound, as a result, it sounds like Fort, instead of Fot. Which goes a bit of a ways to explaining the design of the Qhilphort (in that they look like space age fortresses.)<\/span><\/p>\n Now, why did we get this wrong? Because most of the Org was focusing on Qliphort Tool’s flavor text:<\/p>\n \u30b7\u30b9\u30c6\u30e0\u3092\u30ec\u30d7\u30ea\u30ab\u30e2\u30fc\u30c9\u3067\u8d77\u52d5\u3059\u308b\u6e96\u5099\u3092\u3057\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059…<\/span> See the bolded word, there? Qliphoth? That’s why we ignored the rolling O into R sound. Based on Konami’s own text, we were assuming they meant Qliphoth for the name. But it appears with the TCG name (and the OCG spelling) that Konami intended Qliphort instead, a portmanteau of Qliphoth and Fort.<\/p>\n So Konami didn’t change anything, the Org simply got this one wrong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In which we explain why we missed a name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,107],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-7059","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-articles","7":"category-rumor-myth-busting"},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7059","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7059"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7059\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
