OOO! Akatsukami is a keeper! rather than borrow kosmos from Greek or create a neologism, the meaningng "universe" was assigned, by a calque, to mundus (cosmetics).
Welcome aboard-- that is just the sort of trivial word knowledge i love to know!
and do you know more greek? (alas, greek is greek to me!)
i sort of know that Galexy is from the greek for milk, making "milky way galexy" redundent..but is not quite the same word a milk.. so what does galexy mean??(in greek, that is!)
welcome, welcome, welcome--
and what is the meaning of akatsukami- it sounds japanese.
