How to say "muster" in Japanese

Choosing the right word
  • 奮うふるうCommon
    godan verb, transitive verbCovers mustering something within oneself — calling forth or rousing up an inner quality such as courage. Use it when the object is spirit, strength or resolve that you summon from inside yourself.
  • 勢ぞろいせいぞろいCommon
    noun, suru verb, intransitive verbMuster as a gathering: people assembling in full force or lining up, everyone present. Think of a turn-out where the whole group shows up, rather than an individual summoning courage.
  • 点呼てんこCommon
    noun, suru verb, transitive verbThis is really 'roll-call': muster in the sense of counting off personnel by name to check attendance. If the English sentence is about a head-count of assembled people, this is the word.
  • 糾合きゅうごうCommon
    noun, suru verb, transitive verbMuster as rallying: bringing people together into one body, gathering scattered individuals or groups for concerted action. Use it when people are rallied rather than merely assembled or counted.

English 'muster' splits by what is mustered: use 「奮う」 for calling forth inner qualities like courage, 「勢ぞろい」 for a full turn-out of people, 点呼 for a roll-call head-count, and 糾合 for rallying people into one body.
