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. Bob |

You are quite right: the English word is quite dizzy: the middle "g" there should be a "y". http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ginkgo But even that is a mistake: the actual Japanese word for that tree is pronounced itcho. The nuts of the tree are pronounced "ginnan" and written with exactly the same Chinese characters as the name of the tree. The Japanese make a point of doing perverse things with Chinese characters to keep in their place folks who make the mistake of trying to learn Japanese as a second language. -- David J.
