      • Now I'm curious to see what it means to "eddy".

            I think somebody has had too much rummy.

              I'm still pondering

              Design for the children all are fangled and in the high quality welcome you use our products


              As does a Rummy Wand hold charges or shots? Or maybe cards.

              I'm always still in trouble again

                Rummaging through possibilities on Google translate: the most likely source word seems to be 旋轉 - Chinese: Xuánzhuǎn - schen jwan (in Japanese it is "senten") - spin, whirl, rotate, swirl.
                Some part of the wand probably spins.

                  And an eddy indeed is a whirlpool, as a noun, and as a verb it is to move in a circular way!

                    Yes - it is often simply a matter of rummaging through synonyms to find a probable right word.

                    One of my favourites, encountered on occasion with Japanese even reasonably proficient in English: "this (or that) is very."
                    Happily, the trace was easy but via Japanese. very - taihen - extreme.

                          • So is the bottom of that sign translating the top of the sign, or is it the other way around?

                            Enquiring minds want to know!

                              It that sort of questioning that explain why you no have raccoon on head. You never get to enjoy that kind of moment.


                              While never having a raccoon on my head (aside from a "coonskin cap" back when Davy Crockett and Dan'l Boone were popular), I have had a champagne or cream-colored skunk on my head before. Best scalp massage I ever had.

                                Pfft. I’ve had cats do the same thing. And they smell better.
