Re: More new vocabulary



> kmon    monk (either sex)    English anagram
> kmono    monk    English
> kmoni    nun    English (see monk)
> kmonojay    monastery    compound
> kmonijay    nunnery    compound

I came up with this silly "kmon" root late at night when I wasn't 
thinking clearly.  Replace it with the Korean term of respect for a 
monk or nun, "sunim."  So we have:

sunim    monk (either sex)    Korean
sunimo    monk    English
sunimi      nun    English (see monk)
sunimojay    monastery    compound
sunimijay    nunnery    compound

Better, eh?
