need a little help in yuki's tale

[sgerdan]

hi there

堰iうわさ）では鬼（おに）の助（たす）けを得（え）て、前（まえ）の領主（りょうしゅ）を倒（たお）したということです.

i understand everything except what uwasa is standing for
could you please explain what is the meaning?

[keatonatron]

"according to the rumor"

[sgerdan]

thanks.
so i think the translation would be like the following,
"according to the rumor,with the help of demons,the former feudal lord was brought down ."

there may be a better translation though.

[hungryhotei]

Its more like "(they) brought down the former feudal lord".

[sgerdan]

Oh,yes ,it's not 倒しられた　its 倒した.so you're right.
By the way,if i had more questions about that tale,
should i continue with this thread,or create a new one?

Either way is fine, and I'm moving this to the appropriate forum.
