Talk:Puroromon
It might be "Chiclet", the natural tree gum which chewing gum is derived from, though the only real connection I've found is that some amazonian tribes mix beeswax with chicle to make a special delicacy[1]. It doesn't seem to be an onomatopoeia of any kind, and the only regular use of the phrase is for "Chick's Lit", romance novels and the like.
Puroro in Magyar is "cloudy", and in Maori is "driving rain".
pur..u in Dravidian Magyar is "worm" or "maggot"[2] The Bee section also has per- somethings. I think, it's hard to read that page.
The closest that I can verify is in Maori:
Pūrorohū. 1. a. Accompanied with a whizzing or whistling noise. Purorohu ana te hau nei.
2. n. A toy, cut-water, consisting of a flat piece of wood about 3 in. in diameter mounted on two pieces of string and revolved between the hands. Tr. xxxiv, 42. = kororohu.
So, the sound of Puroromon whizzing through the air on its three wings.KrytenKoro06 05:07, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
I'm not entirely sure if I'm doing this correctly but "Chicalote" is a Prickly Poppy and "Lit" is slang for "Intoxication". Have been trying to learn how to translate an research if this is any help to you. Craigbrowndap (31/08/2009 03:01am GMT)
- This is a Japanese word, though, and it's not pronounced "ChicaLit". "Chica" doesn't even mean "Prickly".KrytenKoro06 23:19, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
- It is romanization for an English word, there are no spaces in romanizations also. Chicalote as seen here (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Chicalote) and also for Lit, see here (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Lit) under the third use of the word. It's the only thing I could find that refers even remotely to it's attack description, so there was no need to treat my hard attempt (and I spent hours on this) as if I have no idea at all about much and as if I don't know anything. All I want to do is help make things more accurate for Digimon fans who love this site as much as me (trying to make some kind of contribution here that's all).

- ...what I meant was that you made up a meaning for your compound word, and placed it in the table under the "translation from japanese" bit. To compound that, you tried to translate "Chicalote" as "Prickly", but that's not what it means.KrytenKoro06 21:18, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
