i was all, "oh hey, that's ki and the a from au. so that makes kiau or something, let's go look that....the second one is read as 'ai,' you say? WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE DICTIONARIES."

Because, seriously, translating "kiai" as "concentration" is INADEQUATE. Well, I mean, not for what we're doing, because context, but IF IT WERE IN A DICTIONARY, I MEAN. BUT IT WASN'T. FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL.
