[edit] Kudzu, not arrowroot
Kuzu means kudzu, not arrowroot. Japanese "kuzu" is often mistranslated as "arrowroot". --163.139.215.193 17:30, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Not a mistranslation, just a different translation. The kanji in question (Nelson 5060, JIS 336-b) is a nonstandard variant of "KATSU/tsuzura/kuzu" (Nelson 5126, Morohashi 31420). Its meanings are given as: "tsuzura: arrowroot; a strong-fiber vine -- kuzu: arrowroot, kudzu; arrowroot starch." Since "arrowroot" is the meaning chosen by Nozaki, it seems least confusing to retain that meaning. Shimeru 00:09, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
