peer agreement (net): +1Lady Luck Explanation: I can't be sure that this option will work for you, because I don't have more information about your context. Depending on your audience, it may be best to leave it as "Birján". However, if you would like to translate it to a figure of luck recognised in English-speaking countries and often called on by gamblers, "Lady Luck" could work. Birján: "No es claro cual es el origen mitológico de Birján, dios que según algunos, es quien regula la suerte en los juegos de azar. " http://impreso.milenio.com/node/8939056 Lady Luck: "When it comes to gambling, most people would like to put their faith in "Lady Luck." It makes sense. Gambling is a game of chance, so winning must be based on how lucky you are. So, they wait for "Lady Luck," the goddess of fate and chance, to smile upon them.
