Talk:Ogudomon

Offset
I did a rough translation, so some of the grammar might be incorrect - specifically, that "the power of a Digimon with even a small amount of malice is offset, making it impossible for it to defeat Ogudomon."

As its name is derived from an octad of deities whose main feature is to be perfectly counterbalanced, it might instead be something like "It is a slightly malicious Digimon whose power is counterbalanced, making it impossible to be defeated."

Could someone more advanced in Japanese please check this? I'm only in my second year of Japanese (not counting high school). And by this request I mean: "Translate it yourself". The reason I did this in the first place is because the available translations are flawed. KrytenKoro06 22:00, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Etymology
Ogudo comes from ogdo, which is short for ogdoad (『オグドアド』 Ogudoado), from Greek ogdoada (Ογδοάδα) meaning group of eight. It is a reference to The Ogdoad, who are eight deities (four male-female pairs) associated with Hermopolis, who symbolize the state of the world before creation in Egyptian Mythology. These deities are perfectly counterbalanced in both gender and element, just as Ogudomon counterbalances each of the seven sins.

Translation
I think "oration" will be more appropiate for the "Oratio". Great Eloquent Oration (or Speech) makes more sense. And I think "Incarnation" will be better that "Incarnate". 18:55, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
