Google Translate gives a reading yē fēn for 野分, but translates it as "Nowaki". Which is very odd because "Nowaki" is not an English word. My small Ch-Eng dictionary does not seem to have yē fēn in it. 野 means something like 'wild'. 分 can mean 'separate; part; point' and various other things. Not much help if we can't find the combination. > > in Japanese, 野分 , 野分, のわ (or Nowake) means that. > Small Jp-Eng dictionary has nowaki 野分 'a wintry blast; a searing blast of late autumn'. So I don't think either of these is a synonym of 台風. Now: Who is asking this, and why? --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2) |
