Hi,

I did not write the 1st one, because I thought you already read it.

It is Kamo (鴨).

[Bungo]

Thanks Nobody san,

I can read them all in the Chinese way............ the third kanji is the same as one of the Qing dynasty emperor ( Kang-Hsi )

 

How do you pronounce " hsi " in Japanese ?

Kang-Hsi is 康煕, I think. The name of the Emperor is pronounced Koki in Japanese. However, 煕 can be read in many ways when it is used as a part of one's name, such as oki, sato, teru, nori, hiro, hiroshi, hiromu, or yoshi, according to my ultimate weapon (my dictionary ).

... according to my ultimate weapon (my dictionary ).

Psst, you're spilling all the beans: Milt doesn't know that dictionaries exist, otherwise he would have bought one for himself a long time ago ... :lol:

That seems to be written in Manyogana. I can convert most characters of that. But it is still difficult to understand the poem.

so it could be Kamo YuKi ( yuki combination sounds better than the other versions ) ?
