Essay 1031 on 汚 (dirty; to defile, dishonor; corruption; contamination) Is Now Up
Dec 7, 2012
Essay 1031 on 汚 (dirty; to defile, dishonor; corruption; contamination) is now up and available for purchase. Here's a preview:
The 汚 kanji has 7 Joyo yomi! What's more, 汚す can be よごす or けがす, just as 汚れる represents よごれる and けがれる. Learn when each yomi is appropriate. Scads of sample sentences help you get the hang of the yomi, one of which played a key role in a major movie. Whether you want to talk about dirty rooms, dirty dealings, or dirty words, 汚 is your kanji.
In the Thematic Exploration "Yomi Confusion," I've also added a section, "Dirt Brings On Yomi Confusion." It contains three pairs of verbs from essay 1031.
Finally, Radical Note 63 on 戸, the "door" radical, is up, one week earlier than promised!

Look at the blue box on the lower right. It lists all 7 (!) Joyo yomi. The essay also provides several non-Joyo yomi for that kanji, just as all essays do.
In every essay, I present all the major and many minor words containing the main character. For each of those words I provide the reading. And I list the yomi for all the words in sample sentences.
