A letter to the editor:
According to “The New Nelson Japanese Character Dictionary”
(Tuttle,1997), the Japanese word “maga”, written with the character 禍
or with 禍, means “calamity, misfortune, woe, evil, curse”. How
accurate this definition is about that uppercase “maga” homonym!
Attached is the dictionary entry.
