Kin = metal, but is most often used in reference to gold or money

Jya = serpent, in this case we can take it to mean dragon. English
speakers often use "worm" or "serpent" in references to dragons.

Kan = circle.

Kinkajya = "Gold Dragon Ring."

Getsu = Moon

Ka = "To pass by or through" or "be over"

Jya = Serpent

Gekajya =  "Moon Over Dragon," again assuming the kanji for serpent is
actually referring to a dragaon.

For thunder you have a choice of "Raijyakan" or "Raikajya."

I have attactched a jpeg file which will show the appropriate kanji
involved.

Don Granberry.

I've come to the FFML again to ask a couple things about both
the Kinjakan and Gekkaja. Again it's for a fic I'm working on and
this isn't covered by the New Ranma Scan Project (at least all of
it).

First, as you certainly know, the Kinjakan's element is Fire and the
Gekkaja's element is Ice.

The question is the following:
What is the translation of Kinjakan and Gekkaja and how would you
name a staff with similar powers using Thunder instead? Name in english
AND japanese, please.

Thanks for your attention and sorry for the spam.

Oh, and unless you have anything of value to say to the entire FFML
community, private replies only.
