Hey /lang/! Mind giving me a hand or two with your Japanese skills?
Rhougant = ローウガント (?)
Rho is ponounced as /ˈroʊ/
An example, Rhodes Scholarship is translated to ローズ奨学制度 in it's japanese wikipedia article.
Then "Rho" is "ロー" (Rou/Rō) in this case?
I suck on passing english/latin character names to Katakana...
I know Japanese doesn't have "rh". They just have "ro" and "roo".
But right now but I'm trying to replicate the pronunciation of Rho (roʊ).
In this case what matters It's the accuracy of the romanization from the kana to the original name.
Right now It comes of as "Rōuganto"
