Anyhow, I found your example da3zi4 as "to type" most
interesting.  From my Japanese knowledge, I believe
da3 would be the same character as =de= of =deguchi=
(exit) and zi4 would be the same character as =ji= of
=kanji= ??  If so, I wonder why "to type" in JPN is
=nyuuryoku= where =nyuu= comes from =iriguchi=
(entrance) and =ryoku= from =chikara= (power).  Anyone
have any thoughts.....  Kou?

M.E.S.

As I remember, the da3 you are referring to corresponds to Japanese uchi (to hit `Å‚Â). Imperative
