Does 切った mean to “cut out” or “cut from”? On Space ALC, the first relevant definition if you just search for 切る is probably: break《ゴルフ》（スコアがあるポイントを) But that only works if you know what "break 100" means in a golf context. Although you also see this used in other sporting contexts, e.g. "break the four minute mile". |

How close was the Japanese writing system from becoming abolished after World War II? I'd like to see an answer from Krazer myself. There's obviously a lot going on between the lines. The transcripts of the meeting where the walkout took place are absolutely fascinating. 成瀬 comes out swinging, saying he and the phonetic-advocates are like oil and water, and it doesn't get particularly more cordial from there on in. |

Reading of 起き上がり小法師 The one in the title is the name of the sweet so I understand that they've chosen a more standard reading of ~法師 for that part, and that the reading for 起き上がり小法師 is probably what it is for historical reasons. The shortening of a vowel seemed unusual to me, though, so I wanted to know if there was a reason for this particular change (e.g. specific to the time period or area of Japan where the name originated) or if there were some cases where this sort of sound change tends to happen (like with rendaku). |

Making sense out of Japanese proverbs The first reminds me of things along the lines of "could drown in a puddle"/"could trip over his own shadow" in English |
