Why is Tei such a bitch?

[Anonymous No.]

because people keep misspelling her name.

I'm much more interested in Rinnosuke's damage redirection abilities.

Its not that they steal the w, they are just using the wrong character. Her name should be spelled with an old character that isn't used anymore (wi instead of i).

zun spells it tei now, the w was thrown into the pile with the pc-98 characters.

And wi, coincidentally, is pronounced exactly the same as, and can therefore legitimately be romanized the same as, i.

There is no "using the wrong character" when it comes to romanization.

Except that her name is spelled Ayeka, not Aeka.

Because it looks better, you see.

I'd like to point out, yet again, that's how MODERN Japanese pronounces it. Tewi is supposed to be 1500+ years old at least, therefore she was given the name long before the character was obsolete, and thus her name is still pronounced Tewi, not Tei.

Japanese people can decide to romanize their shit however the hell they want. They aren't tied by any rules.

I don't think you know ancient Japanese.

い and ゐ along with を and お have always been substituted for each other and always been pronounced the same. It's great fun reading classical literature and seeing a word such as おとこ that isn't in the dictionary unless you look it up as をとこ.

I don't think you know ancient Japanese as well as you think.

Words like that were pronounced differently, and it's generally agreed among scholars that ゐ and ゑ represented different sounds than the contemporary い and え. It was only during the Kamakura period that they began to be conflated, and even then, some linguists argued that certain regions kept a pronounced difference between the letters even up until the Taisho period.

Guys, guys, it doesn't matter.

The man can write his own character's names in roman characters however the hell he wants.

And romanized Japanese didn't even exist at the time when there was a supposed difference between the sounds, so it's a moot point anyway.
