:Actually, it can't translate to "shell" as far as I can tell. ふた refers to something that covers the opening of a container or something similar. I've found no definitions for it that can be interpreted as "shell" (and the term for a shell, as in of a turtle, is こうら anyway), so "lid" is the correct term to use. Beats me why it was named that though. <span style="border: 2px dotted #FFBBDD;">[[User:Umeko|<span style="color:#FF99CC;">梅子</span>]][[User talk:Umeko|<span style="color:#FF99CC;"><sup>❀</sup></span>]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|<span style="color:#FF99CC;"><sub>✿</sub></span>]]</span> 00:52, 1 November 2010 (UTC) | |||

- Actually, it can't translate to "shell" as far as I can tell. ふた refers to something that covers the opening of a container or something similar. I've found no definitions for it that can be interpreted as "shell" (and the term for a shell, as in of a turtle, is こうら anyway), so "lid" is the correct term to use. Beats me why it was named that though. 梅子❀✿ 00:52, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
