| Comments: | "coup d'etat" suggests success. AFAIK, this term does not. all J-E sources have 'riot' |

| Comments: | ja:WP has a long discussion of shades of meaning and English translation (as “riot, revolt”), which may be worth reading carefully (I took a look at it but not esp. carefully). * Elaborate – esp. Japanese historical, a *revolt* (Dicts note “Japanese”, though not exclusively Japanese – also used to translate German “Putsch”, as in ミュンヘン一揆) * Not “riot” except in very broad sense of the word, hence remove as misleading * Also, remove articles (“a, an”) (Local bar is called 一揆, hence interest in term.) |
