Cure
The translation is a bit iffy, since I can't seem to find a dictionary entry for it, but "光かがやく" (something like "shining") is replacing "Bright" as the Cure-elemental material in 358/2 Days. It may in fact end up being a more literal translation for "Bright", as opposed to the actual name of "Moist". Glorious  CHAOS!  22:05, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep, 光輝く means "light-shining", a close synonym of "bright". Okay, new problem:


 * Like Spirit/Gale, the elemental affinity of "MoistBright" has been given to "BrightBright", and like Power/Energy, two differently named materials are pretty much going to have the same english name. However, unlike those two, The "BrightBright" has completely replaced "MoistBright", as MoistBright does not appear at all in Days, and BrightBright does not appear anywhere else. Basically, while we have separate pages for different material types with facets of this problem, the Bright materials have all the facets, seemingly indicating that the Japanese name has been "corrected". Given these circumstances, do we want the "BrightBright" material info to be merged with the "MoistBright" material info when we can get more info on Days? Even though it's slightly irregular, I would personally say that in this case it would be the most appropriate thing to do. Glorious  CHAOS!  22:05, 24 July 2009 (UTC)


 * RETREAD: Days ended up translating it as "Shining". It has the same elemental affinity and color, but technically has different names. Do we want to split? Glorious  CHAOS!  22:54, May 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Soooo... the Japanese and English names are both different, and the color and element are the same? I would say split, and call it a quote-unquote "successor" to "Bright". --  Neumannz ,  The Dark Falcon  01:06, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Same suggestion for "Gust" and "Gale". --  Neumannz ,  The Dark Falcon  01:20, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Moisture
How exactly is it used as a noun? And wouldn't Uruoi still be an adjective anyway, since it's not been conjugated to the noun form? 19:56, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Uruoi "no" Kakera? "Uruoi" is not an i-adjective. 20:16, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh, right. Still, Uruoi no is the adjectival form of the noun, so it's still meant to be read as "Moist X". 21:28, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
 * No. This "Uruoi no" indicates genitive case similar to how "Chikara no X" = "Power X" and not "Powerful X". 01:19, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
 * ah, right. I keep messing up with stuff like this, where it sounds like an adjective but isn't.
 * Weblio seems to indicate that, in context, "Uruoi no" can be phrased as either "Moist", "Moistness", or "of Moisture". I guess "Moisture" sounds fine to me, but can you propogate it through the article? 14:50, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Done. 14:55, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
