Aura?
[edit]@Eirikr I wouldn't use "aura" as the "official" definition: "aura" is just a very, very, very broad translation I came up with for convenience because I couldn't think of anything more succinct. I originally used "sense of presence" but that was kinda misleading. ばかFumiko¥talk 06:26, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
- Since you've got aura bolded in the usex in multiple places, not having that as the gloss is confusing. What about listing aura first, and having the sort of chi explanation after that? Such as this sample edit. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 16:15, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Eirikr Maybe, but I'd put aura in quotes ("aura"), since the word "aura" as defined in my Oxford Learner's Dictionary is something you can feel when you see a person, while kehai, a common trope in Chinese/Japanese/Korean media, is something you can sense without seeing. Apparently there's no possible English equivalent: I've seen scanlation works that simply use kehai. ばかFumiko¥talk 04:42, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
- I think it looks good now, thanks for the tweaks. :) ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 16:25, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
