Got it! Like a film camera. Or film itself. ;^)
But just to be argumentative, and to stay up a few more minutes, what kind of
word is "ginkgo"? It appears to violate my understanding of Japanese
phonological rules. (Specifically, I'd expect a (voiced) "i" or "u" between
the "k" and the "g". Or I'd expect the word to be spelled "ginkon" or
"gingon".)
That said, I freely admit that my knowledge of Japanese borders on
infinitesimal.
