As someone who knows enough Japanese to understand basics...

There is more to Japanese sometimes then "this word means...". The name "Kai" can have many things, but the translation "Ocean" applies to only females with the name "Kai" for example. Now thats on names and not words... But... Consider "Damashi" means "spirit"... But also..."Essence"... "Soul"... and a few other translations, my braisn just gone dead as I'm writing this. But none of those words mean *exactly* what "Damashi" means, their approximate translations.

Also... Gumi would only be "gummy" if we're using phonetic translation... Which doesn't ness. mean "candy". It would apply to any form of gum-based product or thing that has gum-like properties. Its not pronounced as the English word "Gummy" word so unless your trying to make it sound like "gummy" its... Not going to work. Japanese words and names both silence the "u" sound too. I'm pretty lousy at explaining pronunciations of Japanese words as I can't speak Japanese I can only semi-read it.
