Why is the BGM from Cirno's stage called Lunate Elf if there are no elves on the moon?

>> No.7150129

Can you prove there aren't?

>> No.7150132

>>7150129

Yes. Yes I can. In both this world, and the Sord Gensokyo.

>> No.7150133

For some reason I always associated the term lunate with lunacy, but I guess that might not be the case.

The roots are the same. Lunatics, the insane howling at the moon, and the moon itself.

luna/луна/ is a word for moon as astronomic object in many languages and it's not exclusive to earth's moon

Frenchfag here.
Why are you calling the moon ``moon'' when you are actually reverting to the ``luna'' root in ``lunatic'' or ``lunacy'' for instance? Is it simply because ``moonatic'' and ``moonacy'' sound retarded?

Moon is from German, lunatic etc are from Latin via French; different suffixes apply to each language.
