Talk:Sansukumi-ken

Question
Does "namekuji" mean slug, or does it mean snail? Or... is it one of those words that means both snail and slug? I ask because the text says "snail" but the caption says "slug". It would be good to get this sorted out a bit. Thanks. Invertzoo (talk) 01:06, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Sepp Linhart's book translates namekuji as a "slug or shell-less snail," so it refers to either one. I removed the word snail from the text for the sake of consistency.--MuseumGeek (talk) 04:03, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Good. Thanks. A shell-less snail is a slug by definition. Invertzoo (talk) 14:15, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

History in Japan
I just wanted to note that Japanese Wikipedia claims that Mushi-ken is present in Heian-period documents, so the sentence "Ken was brought to Japan in the 17th century as a Chinese drinking game" might not be accurate. But I don't have any source or knowledge about this, so I won't change it right now. Ornilnas (talk) 09:13, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
