Aiba's Ba is the same Ba as in leaf :o
(That was the first kanji of his name I could recognize.)

Interesting *_*

I didn't know that either, until you told me D:
Ha is annoying, being both teeth and leaf and probably more depending on kanji..
We've had the first kanji twice now so I'm starting to recognize it XD

I remember a few more things now too.. How when they introduced themselves individually, Nino did a card trick which have everyone screaming. And Ohno did something with his eyes which made us scream MORE because it's not supposed to be possible. He moved them one by one. First he looked at his nose with both, then one of the eyes went to look in the other direction while the other was still fixed on the nose. How did he do that? o__o

I was just shellshocked for a moment until I realized that you meant different kanji, same syllable. Uhm. let's see, which words do I know ... 葉 羽 歯 刃 派 - yup. \:D/
Bibiko (Japanese/German online dictionary) lists three more kanji, but more complicated ones.

Neat, Ohno! :D

lol. I really don't see why they did it. They have strange words for things that other languages just describe because such a word isn't needed, then they have the same word having 20+ meanings.

If not how he did it, then I'm kinda curious how he noticed that he could do it or what made it try it. Maybe when he spaced out one day. I'd so wanted to see that, specially Aiba's reaction.

I just looked through the kanji in Bibiko's kanji dictionary and there were 39 with a kun reading 'ha' (most of them verbs) and not a single one with an on reading 'ha'. (Most of them had, like, on reading shi. or sei or sho.)

I wonder if in Old Japanese tones were more predominant than they are today.

xD;;; I guess it's more a matter of training. I can make myself corss-eyed and then move one eye down and the other one up, if that helps, but I'd need a video cam and training to do what Ohno did. Or some kids who guide my exercise ....

I don't want to think of it any more...

I'm sure the kids would love to help, as long as you have enough success or enough failures to amuse them

I like your icon
