my quick glosses for sword names in SVSSS
心魔 Xinmo - Inner Demon (c'mon, Airplane...)
正阳 Zhengyang - Righteous Son (Sun) (eta: also means Noonday Sun)
修雅 Xiuya - Cultivate Elegance
乘鸾 Chengluan - Phoenix Rider
玄肃 Xuansu - Grave Solemnity / Grave Profundity / Silent Toll (this last one much more of a stretch/localization; all wild stabs at two evocative but hard-to-pin-down characters... and what imagery they evoke as a unit)
水色 Shuise - Water's Mien
* I haven't looked up any literary correspondences here, in the hope that Airplane's naming sense doesn't reach that deep
** I don't think these names should be translated in the context of the full novel, but this is me trying to figure out (hopefully) what they sound like to a CN reader?
Concrit, etc. is welcomed!
