4 April 2023

• curprev 02:4302:43, 4 April 2023‎ imported>Sol Pacificus‎ 44,667 bytes +7‎ Rough compromise for now. I previously changed the link from Empress Kōken to Emperor Shōmu because I mistakenly learned that Emperor Shōmu received the ordinaton from Jianzhen historically without being able to verify if Empress Kōken also did. Hence, I thought there was a historical error in the work. Now that we have verified Empress Kōken was there, there's no basis why a reference to the incumbent ruler should mean her predecessor instead. cin gbere le

• curprev 08:5908:59, 12 July 2022‎ imported>Sol Pacificus‎ 44,455 bytes +9,825‎ The 5th letter is complicated since it is used as narration for the entire Chapter 36, interspersed with actual scenes of the events. It also doesn't flow as naturally as a letter, but Nakamaro addressing Li Bai towards the end indicates it's actually still a letter to him. I would need some help formatting it because I want to clearly delineate Abe no Nakamaro's actual writing from the scenes. / There are some footnotes to add later, such as clarification on dates mentioned. cin gbere le

• curprev 21:2721:27, 6 July 2022‎ imported>Sol Pacificus‎ 34,630 bytes −3‎ →‎Letters: The Chinese text uses two different terms for 'forget' here, and I don't like the repetition in English using 'forget' twice.

29 June 2022

• curprev 23:4723:47, 29 June 2022‎ imported>Sol Pacificus‎ 34,645 bytes −5‎ Note about my prev. edit summary: I may have been wrong about "Master Jianzhen" being one inseparable name in Chinese. I come from a Buddhist family & that was just how I interpreted the names of the monks I have met. / Distinction b/w OotA and Templars, Assassins & Hidden Ones have become confusing again. cin gbere le
• curprev 20:3020:30, 29 June 2022‎ imported>Sol Pacificus‎ 34,650 bytes −2‎ It looks neater for "Master" to be included in the link. Also in thr Chinese, "Master Jianzhen" is kind of an inseparable term/name. Idk why English practice isolates "Jianzhen". / I'm not confident that archaic order of slavery is meant to directly refer to the New World Order. That might be up for interpretation. I removed the link just to be safe, but I don't strictly mind it. cin gbere le

I thought it was figuratively just saying "keep quiet about something", but then I realized it didn't make sense in the sentence. After some searching, I was only able to find some brief mention of this being a method of pleading the emperor historically... does this mean that she literally stuffed her mouth with clay? If anyone understands this better, feel free to let me know. cin gbere le

I will double-check the translation more closely later. cin gbere le
