<<amnesiack asks:

Ok, I know Akane means scarlet, and I know either Genma or Soun means
something like black horse, but what do the names of the other Ranma
characters mean?  Anyone out there know?

Also, how exactly do you pronounce kawaii?  I know what it means because
I've seen it in print ever since I got into Ranma fan-fics two years ago,
but I've never actually heard it pronounced.  I've always said it like
"kah-why". Is that correct?>

Genma means "Dark Horse."  Ranma means "wild horse."  Umm...that's all I
know, except that I think that Akari means "red."

Kawaii is pronounced kinda like "kah-wa-ee," with three syllables.  At
least that's how my friend Justin always says it.  He could be wrong,
though.
