Re: Masajuto
Yeah, that was the only one I had found, as well...wasn't aware that it was a typo. Thanks!If anyone else can find anything, that would be appreciated.

I also searched Japanese-language sites using Japanese script and did not get any hits, so "Masajuto" was mostly likely a one-time error.

Is there any chance it could be from another language? Perhaps something African?

Completely confused now: why African, and not, say, from New Guinea?I was just following the conversation (because I like to catch up on all posts by certain people) and ask only because the suggestion seemed so bizarre given the conversation so far! Does Japanese borrow a lot from an African language, or did you mean in this case there was a similarity in the phonetics with some part of Africa?
