While flipping through the LoGH TownMook for the first movie, I took
note of the Romanji text for the Valkyrie on page 35. It reads,
"Weltall-jagdflugzeug 'Walkurie'" and find that trying to pronounce
this as difficult as a tongue-twister to the non-German speaker. I
would be interested to know how well this phrase translates, or if it is
a unique brand of Germanese similar to the title of our beloved series.
Please note that I mean no harm nor malice toward anyone of German
descent when I use the term "Germanese." Anyone who thinks I am
implying that Germanic peoples are "germs" are perhaps a bit
over-sensitive. I simply lack a better word.
