In the 11th episode of Shingu, Hajime does something (I won't describe because it's a spoiler) and Harumi says something that sounds to me like omioto. That happens twice. Both times they translate it as "Well done."
What is it?
Speaking of interesting words, it's interesting that "Hajime" means "the beginning", "Nayuta" means "10^60", and "Muryou" means "immeasurable" (I think with the dual implication of "inscrutable" and "unlimited"). Most of the other characters have common names, but those three are unusual, and I think they're deliberately chosen. (Yes, I know that there are other characters named "Hajime".)

"You must be that little Spanish brat I taught a lesson to all those years ago. You've been chasing me your whole life only to fail now? I think that's about the worst thing I've ever heard.
"How marvelous."

Enclose all spoilers in spoiler tags:
[spoiler]your spoiler here[/spoiler]
Spoilers which are not properly tagged will be ruthlessly deleted on sight.
Also, I hate unsolicited suggestions and advice. (Even when you think you're being funny.)
At Chizumatic, we take pride in being incomplete, incorrect, inconsistent, and unfair. We do all of them deliberately.
