SDLeary Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 OK.. I've ditched the Chinese names for some wushu skills (the original names will be in the mini-encyclopaedia). Do the following sound OK, in English? Death TouchParalysis TouchSwoon TouchMutism Touch The first three sound ok, they convey something of their intent. I'm not sure what the fourth is about though. Mini-encyclopaedia?! Its gone from a long lexicon to a mini-encyclopaedia?! SDLeary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soltakss Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I'd say that Paralysing Touch sounds better than Paralysis Touch. Mutism Touch? I'd say that I can probably work out what it means (it strikes you dumb) but it doesn't flow very well. Muting Touch doesn't sound any better, though, and I can't think of a better phrase.

GianniVacca Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 I'd say that Paralysing Touch sounds better than Paralysis Touch. Thanks. I'll use Paralysing Touch. Mutism Touch? I'd say that I can probably work out what it means (it strikes you dumb) but it doesn't flow very well. Muting Touch doesn't sound any better, though, and I can't think of a better phrase. Yes, it strikes the opponent dumb. Dumbing Touch? Numbing Touch? Mute Key of the Remote?
