Huchi[edit]

Delete. I have removed wrong information, and what remains is a useless explanation on an Ainu word. Huci is the correct Ainu Romanization, not huchi. - TAKASUGI Shinji 01:21, 2005 Apr 12 (UTC)

Even if the Mount Fuji etymology is definitely academically wrong, it seems to have some currency, and this should be explained in the article. More important, as Huchi is a major Ainu deity (a fire goddess) as well as just the word for fire, it has the potential to become a real article if anyone can research the topic a bit more.--Pharos 03:28, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
It's neither the word for fire nor the name of fire god. It just means grandmother. See Talk:Mount Fuji#Etymology. - TAKASUGI Shinji 09:56, 2005 Apr 12 (UTC)
I just transwikied to wiktionary, (Wiktionary:Transwiki:Huchi), as it is only info about word now. I would recommend simply redirecting to Ainu, as the "Religion" section already has a sentence about Huchi. But if it can be made substantial enough to stand on its own, (a god should have that potential) that's good too, but it is obscure. (~200k ppl.) --Dmcdevit 03:54, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- That is, if it really does mean a fire god. --Dmcdevit 16:55, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete. From Shinji's statement, it seems that the god in question was named Ape-huci-kamuy, not "Huchi", which would at most be a redirect. - Mustafaa 06:53, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
