Yeah...ummmm...I found something while trying to find a name for an OC, and decided to do a little more research....*ahem*
I put Ko's name into an online translator for Japanese and it came up with a few different results.....
First there was "child", I guess we could make the connection between this translation and the part of the episode when he says "It's been a while since I added a child's face to my collection..." or something like that, but unless he's got a thing for children's faces I doubt it means anything.
The next result I got was "the late". Now unless by "the late" they mean "the late person to work" this could refer to the fact that he probably (from what I can assume) steals the faces of the dead, but again, not too sure it means anything.
Another result that came up was "old". This is one of the two that I like best for this. If you remember, the only reason Aang went to see Ko was because he was the only one old enough to know where the moon and ocean spirits were.
The second one that I like best, is the translation of "sin, fault". As you can probably tell from his appearance in The Siege of the North, Ko isn't the most angelic, sinless, or even nice spirit in the spirit world. I think this definatly fits Ko's personality.
Okay that ends the Japanese translations....on to the.....Danish translation
Yes, I know this has nothing to do with Ko but, turns out that in if your Danish Ko means "cow"....just thought that'd be good for a laugh..... ;D
