| Comment | With regard to Rene Malenfant's submission on the above and the observation: "My personal opinion is that 架け橋 is an IME error there. It's pretty unusual for Japanese people to use okurigana in their names."
The location of the text to which I referred was the Japan Society's Newsletter [London] and the Japanese reading was: "架け橋琴アンサンブル" and the English translation was "Kakehashi Koto Ensemble." The leaders were Dr Ayako Hotto-Lister of London and Ms Kazuko Tsuchiya of Japan. The background seems to be Japanese, but beyond that I have no further information so I defer to Rene's expertise. |

| Editorial Comment | "Bridge-Building Koto Ensemble"? I agree with Rene that 架け橋 is unlikely to be a family name. |

| Comment | This might be a good candidate for (uk) based on the usage in the example sentences and ALC. ALC links the つらい reading for 辛い with a "辛い→つらい" redirect.
Of course, based on gut-feeling, observed usage and personal preference as well, but that's hard to reference and not always correct. Of course in this case, 辛い is bound to be more popular in the Googits and (P)-marker counts due to からい often being written like that. (I find (uk) tags and such to be very helpful when using Edict to learn new words or find out more about how certain kanji are used) |
