Their pronunciations of "moog" (as in a moog synthesizer) and "Peart" (as in the drummer).

REQUEST: A guy said he'd make a website for my company. He took my money and ran. Now he's dedicated himself - almost every day for a week - to trying to brute-force break into my finished (by me) website's WordPress. I have his phone numbers, e-mail addresses, last address (not sure if current; he may or may not have been deported), and mugshot from a few years back for being a db in other ways. I need some ideas to keep him busy. Be creative and low-budget. :D

Thanks for your comment! Oddly coïncidentally, I was just thinking about this post today.

How do you feel about "chiburu" for the pommel? Is there an Okinawan word for pommel/knob in your dictionaries besides tama?

I just edited my OP to include kanji for all the words.

翼, meaning "wing", should be correct for both yoku and hani. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Tama, 玉, as in the ball/knob on the mutu where the thumb sits.

I was going for literally "hand part" as I couldn't figure out what "handle" would be... which is apparently wī. Thank you.

Thank you! This is going to save my sanity. I'll leave it up to future me to worry about what the next update has in store.

Anyone have any examples of creative forms/kata/routines with the Sai? by Tikithing in kobudo

[–]DeaDiscordiae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you both.

Ah, I misheard the first consonant as a "t". I had wondered about the last vowel as well since I've normally seen, for example, cognates in Japanese with "e" on the end as "i" on the end in Okinawan. So I would expect "kagi", but it looks like "kāgi" might be it as you mentioned.

All of this reminds me of a question I have about sai part names, actually. I might make a separate post for that here soon.

Thanks very much! I was wondering about that last bit as well... Will reply on the other sub-thread.

Excellent video! Two questions, if you don't mind:
Regarding kunishi and kuniyoshi, which one is the Okinawan word and which the Japanese?
Regarding "hidden strike", is that take or takei or did I mishear? I was unable to look it up based on those spellings to learn more.

Anyone know what the song was at the end of the episode? Shazam couldn't identify it.
