    Aha, I was mostly just trying to get it as close to ‘big dommy mommy’ as possible, rofl.

    I absolutely do not know any Ukrainian at any kind of functional level, hahah.

    I did not know that origin of smother, that is interesting!

    One thing that I do remember seeing, at one point… I can’t remember if it was a unit, an operation, or a piece of equipment… but somebody had translated it into English as roughly ‘Righteous Gale’…

    Which struck me as pretty close to the original meaning in Japanese of ‘kamikaze’: divine wind, a cyclone sent by spirits/deities, or the spirits/deities manifesting themselves as the storm.
