I think you mean a soft "G" sound, right? When a G sounds like a "J" in English, as in the word "Gigantic," that's considered a soft use of G. Hard G is for sounds like the G in the word "Galactic."

Don't worry, we all have those moments. I actually wrote yesterday that Predaking was made of 6 members when I knew it was obviously just 5.

No you don't. "Gregevor" is a bad Engrish transliteration of グリジバー, which Romanizes out to being "Gurijibaa", with the two I's both sounding like "ee". It is a portmanteau of "Green" and "Jeep" with a modified end, hence the longstanding transliteration of "Greejeeber" being the more accepted name since the Car Robots character of the same name was established back in the year 2000.
The two E's in "Gregevor" are long "ee" sounds, and the second G is a hard G (or J) sound. The V came from B and V being essentially the same sound in Japanese. So whoever transliterated グリジバー ("Gurijibaa") into "Gregevor" apparently didn't recognize the "Green Jeep" reference and gave us a more wonky name than the more likely intended "Greejeeber".

"Japanese accent" doesn't do that to English words. Like JelZe said, it's the two words respelled nonsensically.william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Drop the N in "green", change the P to B in "jeep", and add an "er" on the end.william-james88 wrote:I thought this name was just greenjeep said in a japanese accent.

Yeah, exactly as I said then: greenjeep spelled phonetically when said in a japanese accent
