What Barrel types...?Knife (talk) 14:54, 22 August 2007 (EDT)

Japanese Name

"Japanese: 転, taru" is what the article states. While 「樽」taru does indeed mean barrel, 転 is, to my knowledge, the kanji for "turning around" and not normally read as taru. Is there a non-standard reading being applied to 転 in this case, or does the article just use the wrong kanji?--vellidragon 00:30, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Doesn't really answer your question, but Google Translate says these three words mean the word Barrel in Japanese:

1. バレル
2. バーレル
3. 桶

The first one means Bareru, the second one is very similar, being Bāreru (note the a), but the third one is phonetically spelled as Oke. Though Oke has more translations in English. Here are them all:

1. tub
2. pail
3. bucket
4. barrel
5. vat
6. cask
7. kibble
8. piggin
9. water butt
10. container

This means that 桶 (oke) usually means a tub in English.

Strangely, they didn't include 「樽」, while translating that, you'd get "Barrel" (with apostrophes). rend (talk) (edits)
