Romaji just tells us how to pronounce the kanji, although kanji can have multiple different ways to read it.

The reason whyI suggested Judge is because of the possibility of the author doing some wordplay. Yes, the pronunciation is different, but as the kanji do have similar meanings, then that they are evoking the same meaning is possible, just with the kanji 'ma' being replaced by 'ki' to be more appropriate for what Asue is. It's the same reason why Rou replaced his pronoun for people with 'oni' rather than 'hito'. It's still essentially the same meaning (he's referring to a group of people), but he has it corrected for his race.

Caudry, not completely true. Sei and Sato are a Queen and Empress respectively. That said, this is the author using a foreign word. So it doesn't really matter if it's a male term, is it?

>It's still in the realm of symbology...and he hasn't DONE any "symbological" names for the species  names.

That is how people here have been translating the kanji, though? From start to beginning. Otherwise, we shouldn't translate Jigoku as Hell at all, just Earth Prison. You have to use context  in translating these terms.
