I want to know the word for 'wolf' in as many languages as possible.?
I'm writing a were-wolf saga or chronicle and want to use these words as descriptors or maybe as surnames. Besides English of course unless you know of old English words that would work.
Kiro, what would the Japanese be in Kanji? It would be easier to use latin characters than Japanese.
oops, I mean Kuro
