Revision as of 19:19, 4 June 2013
I like the name just how it is, thank you. You know what, let's do this: let's see how many instances of ソー (sō) vs. ソウ (sou) we can find for "saw" and if the latter outnumbers it, we'll move. I'll start:
ソウ = Saw (the movie, a proper noun)
サークルソー = Circle Saw ミュージカルソー = Musical Saw ルナティックチェーンソー = Lunatic Chainsaw
Who's got more? JelZe GoldRabbit 11:27, 4 June 2013 (EDT)
