(Single quotes used throughout to avoid syntactic confusion when this name appears in quoted phrases.--[[User:Nutcase|Nutcase]] 05:49, 12 February 2007 (PST))  

Note: It has been conjectured by that the name of Itsuki's group is a reference by the author to the  "Instrumentality of Man" in the science fiction classics by Cordwainer Smith. 


* "Literature Club" not "Literacy Club"


* "Class 1-5" not "Fifth Class" etc

* "Classified information" rather than "No comment" for information Asahina is unable to tell



*Haruhi's Mental Manifestation
"Shinjins"= "Avatars"


Note: Literally meaning "God like Being", Shinjins reflect Haruhi's mental condition; it can be likened to the "Angels" from "Neon Genesis Evangelion", whose mental boundaries are physical, unlike humans who keep mental conflicts within their organic minds. Haruhi's mental state manifests within an alternative "Sealed Reality" on earth to vent her cognitive dissonance.



*Name of the alternative reality Haruhi's mental state appears
"Heisa Kuukan"= "Sealed Reality"



Note: This is where the "Avatar" of Haruhi manifests itself to vent her cognitive dissonance. It is literally a parallel reality effectively locked within a region on earth. While physical landmarks such as buildings, streetlights, and roads are present and are frequently attacked by Haruhi's "Avatar" in this alternate reality, no humans are ever present. This environment is colored in a uniform shade of grey, and only members of the "Organization" can enter this "Sealed Reality".



*Name of the School Club 

"SOS DAN", "SOS団" = "SOS Brigade"


"Sekai wo Ooini moriagerutame no Suzumiya Haruhi no Dan", "世界を大いに盛り上げるための涼宮ハルヒの団"= "Save our world by Overloading it with fun: Suzumiya Haruhi Brigade"

Note: The literal translation of the full name of the club is: "Group of enjoying the Suzumiya Haruhi in order to uplift the world greatly". 
[''The above requires additional info & clarification'']

Perhaps a better literal translation of the above is: "Suzumiya Haruhi's group for greatly enlivening the world". The difficult part to translate is 盛り上げる [moriageru], which can mean to make something more fun, lively, or interesting. It is usually used with regards to a party, class in school, or some other group activity. There is no direct English translation.
