 * Comment - I'm very impressed that editors took some 8 years to write all of this. But unfortunately, Wikipedia isn't a dictionary. But Wiktionary is. It looks like this was transwikied before, but the entry got deleted because of this article here. See wiktionary:Transwiki:List of Ainu terms. Michaelzeng7 (talk) 16:04, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Transwiki to Wiktionary per WP:NOTDICT. Hopefully they will keep it this time. — Mr. Stradivarius  ♪ talk ♪ 10:04, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wiktionary per NOTDICT. The older transwiki has been userfied to wikt:User:Cnilep/Ainu, but the current Wikipedia list is more comprehensive. I'm planning to turn the list items into individual Wiktionary entries, but I'm getting busy now, so this will take some time. By the way, help is welcome from anyone active on Wiktionary; see wikt:User:Cnilep/アチャ for a draft entry. Cnilep (talk) 23:37, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Hold on - isn't this a list of ainu terms, including place names, used in Japan? Don't sources like Richard M. M. Siddle Race, Resistance and the Ainu of Japan 2012 "As for Ainu words, the phonological structure of Japanese has tended to distort them to fit the syllabic constraints of katakana. But where Ainu terms occur within everyday discourse, their standard Japanese transcriptions are given since these.. " etc. apply to the lead paragraph. What other articles do we have about Ainu terms in Japan? However no objection to transwiki-ing In ictu oculi (talk) 07:15, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
