Also, it is the root of the word Yamaneko meaning lynx or wildcat.

Aaaahhhhh! "Mountain Cat". Man, I love it when a language makes sense. It almosy makes up for "Mountain Whale" (venison, back when Japan was seriously vegetarian).

mountain whale? venison? sounds like eggnog in french, a.k.a. chicken milk

Maybe we should use this thread to tell people the meaning of japanese words. I don't know I have a lot of free time on my hands. And feet. And eerywhere else. How can you have time on a part of your body? It's an abstract concept. I like cats.
Wow I have amazing paragraph structure.

How about the four elements? Earth, fire, water and wind. And life & death.
Is there any emoticon that doesn't look deranged?

or we could just make a new thread, like the one im going to make in five minutes.

How about the four elements? Earth, fire, water and wind. And life & death.

like the five of zen buddism.

Pretty sure the element names are the same as the weekdays (except Sun-day and Moon-day). Hope your browser supports Kanji!

火 "Ka"- fire.
水 "Sui" or "Mizu" - water
木 "Moku", "Boku" - wood
金 "Kin" - metal
土 "Do" - Earth (not to be confused with 士 "shi", as in bushido)

Life & death, eh? Oddly enough, that's in the dictionary:

死生 "Shisei" - Life and death, sez the dictionary, but in reverse order. 死 by the way, is one of the eight zillion things pronounced "shi", including 四 four, 刺 calling card, 市 city, 侈 pride, and 止 stop-- that's a whole lot of use for an inauspicious syllable. "I'll meet you at the bus-dead, at death o'clock! Here, I'll write it on the back of this death so you don't forget."

yes, yes, alternative pronunciations, context, yes, I know. Havin' fun, here.

Hehehe...good luck finding out.

Could you be more... specific?

I can't think of any buddhist-specific elements. Samsara? Dhamma? Noble truths? Precepts? What'cha looking for?

(small applause for anyone identifying the movie reference in the initial line)
