So it could be "[Modesty by Greed] Pot" or "Pot of [Modesty by Greed]". There's no obvious English word meaning "modesty by (means of) greed". "Greederosity" might have been a word made up the translator to fit this definition. -- [[User:Deltaneos|Deltaneos]] ([[User talk:Deltaneos|talk]]) 14:05, May 19, 2011 (UTC) | So it could be "[Modesty by Greed] Pot" or "Pot of [Modesty by Greed]".

"Greederosity" seems to be a fan made word; a portmanteau of "[[Pot of Greed|Greed]]" and "[[Pot of Generosity|Generosity]]", so I don't think we should use that.

Japanese translated name
There's a bit of a conflict over the Japanese translated name at the moment. I'm not an expert on Japanese, but the Japanese name is "強欲で謙虚な壺".
- 強欲 = greed.
- I'm not entirely sure what で means in this context, but "by (means of)" is one definition.
- 謙虚 = modesty.
- な treats preceding text like an adjective.
- 壺 = pot.
So it could be "[Modesty by Greed] Pot" or "Pot of [Modesty by Greed]". There's no obvious English word meaning "modesty by (means of) greed". "Greederosity" might have been a word made up the translator to fit this definition. -- Deltaneos (talk) 14:05, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
