I'm struggling to understand what "powa" and "puru" mean in Japanese.
#[0] 's https://github.com/mattn/algia has these two special commands that post these two very specific things, but translators are not helping me figure them out.

Don't think, feel.
This is the way.
from japanese
γ½γγ (powaa) is a Japanese onomatopoeic expression or sound effect that conveys a sense of light, fluffy, or soft atmosphere. It can be used to describe a feeling of warmth, fuzziness, or gentleness. It is often used in casual conversation or on social media to emphasize a feeling or mood related to a situation or object. The term can also be associated with the "moe" culture, which refers to the affectionate and protective feelings towards fictional characters or mascots that are cute or endearing.
γ·γ (puru) is a Japanese onomatopoeic word that represents a soft, squishy, or jiggly texture or feeling. It is often used to describe objects or materials that are elastic, bouncy, or have a gelatinous consistency. This can include food items like jellies, puddings, or certain types of fish, as well as non-food items like slime or certain fabrics. In casual conversation or on social media, γ·γ can be used to convey a sense of playfulness, fun, or even cuteness related to the object or situation being discussed.

Powa is one of our greetings.
Puru means pull-request.
But why are they hardcoded in algia?
Anyway, sorry for the confusion. It is joke commands.
"powa" is obviously an homage to the 1991 cinema masterpiece, "The Perfect Weapon," where the intro is SNAP's hit "The Power."
"puru" is a Sanskrit word meaning "much," "many," or "abundant."
Their placement in the help text is an easter egg letting you know that, by mastering the tool, you achieve an abundance of skill and become the perfect Nostr weapon.
