> Uh, 剣 just means sword, and is not an abbreviation. (The use of letters which are not abbreviations is following the concepts of the event.)

Which brings me back to my question: How does the concept of "sword" relates to the concept of the Veblen function? Or was the symbol randomly chosen?

I've also checked the translation of the other symbols. I got things like "phantom" and "dream" and "absurdity". It's nicely poetic way to describe the levels of googological concepts, though their order seems arbitrary (Is a "phantom" bigger than a "dream")? Reminds me of the way Saibian named his numbers with prefixes like "Gasp" and "Terrible" - whimsical and cool, but give absolutely no indication as to the order of strength of the concepts.

(sorry for getting so cought up in the language thing. It fascinates me)

P.S.

I just thought that somebody should create a Japanese version of Letter Notation. With at least  hundreds different basic symbols, you could have a very detailed scale.
