→ダース is not Da'at
:::::I'm pretty sure it's just a matter of choosing which portion of the JP name to emphasize, as trying to encompass its entire message is impossible or too verbose.
:::::"''the "ダース being Da'at" part is really a stretch''." No it's not, given the context of "Metatron" in the same name. Try to convey the words "dozen" and "da'at" in the final name, otherwise it has to be one or the other (much like Scar-light vs. Scar-right). --[[User:UltimateKuriboh|UltimateKuriboh]] ([[User talk:UltimateKuriboh|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/UltimateKuriboh|contribs]]) 18:27, December 28, 2016 (UTC)
::::::"Scar-light vs. Scar-right" is not related to this, because it wasn't clear what スカーライト is referring to. Moreover, Scar-right or Scarlight combined like that aren't real words. Thus, there was a LOT of guess-work involved with translating that.
::::::The problem here is that ダース "Dāsu" and ダアト "Da'ato" are real words in Japanese, so everyone can tell what the word is or isn't referring to. Yes, the "Metatron" part is a reference to the archangel. However, that doesn't mean we can ''bend'' "Dāsu" to also be a reference to Da'at. <span style="background-color:LightCyan; border:2px ridge blue; -moz-border-radius:1em;"> [[User:Hide Head Turtle|<span style="color:black;">'''HHT'''</span>]] </span> 18:42, December 28, 2016 (UTC)
