As a newbie, I've thought of something the newbie FAQ has missed; pronounciation. I've been part of BONSAItalk fo a while now and know what the terms all mean, but I can't say 'em outloud. I'm figuring there are others without people to "talk" bonsai, too. I know bonsai is said bone-sigh (thank you Dr. bonsai), and shohin is show-heen (thank you overheard comversation at NEbonsai
) , but how do you say?:
bonkei
bunjin
chokkan
eda
han-kengai
hokidachi
kabaduchi
kengai
moyogi
mame
neagari
nebari
sabamiki
saikei
shari
sokan
shakkan
suiban
suisekei
tachiagari
yamadori
yose-ue
(for cut n pasting ease I've searched through Matt's glossay)
Labels me as a bit of a hermit, now doesn't it?
