Not sure what the new abbreviation should be): "Begode is the pronunciation translation of Chinese 比高德 Begode should be split into three parts：BE GO DE 比高德 means higher virtue 比-Than，高-Higher，德-Virtue" On 8/25/2021 at 5:58 AM, houseofjob said: In the case of King Song, this is more a close-sounding anglicanization derived from the actual Chinese name which is more like Jīn cóng (imagine us trying to call them by that every post/conversation!), which technically means "Golden forest/thicket". Obviously, they didn't want to translate literally and call themselves internationally as "Golden Forest" For LeaperKim, that is again probably the Chinese direct translation, so they switch to Veteran for the international branding. I have no idea what phrase (if any) "Leaperkim" comes from though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
