Are you telling me that Japanese reads backwards? One can sure learn a lot on this forum! I would fit right in, because my wife has always said that I was a little backwards, or maybe she ment old fashion. | ||||||

Dear CDBJ, Not only does a Japanese Bible read right-to-left, but up-to-down first. Thus a 'center column' Bible has the 'column' running right-to-left in the horizontal center of the page! If you think this is confusing, the Japanese language is also commonly read left-to-right first, then up-to-down. Sometimes it is right-to-left first, then up-to-down. But NEVER down-to-up! (I can't explain the 'inconsistency' :-)) If you see a taxi with "TAXI" (ta-ku-shi) written on the side, it will be written front to back, so left-to-right on the left side, and right-to-left on the right side. Did you get that? I could go over it again if you like. :-) Did I tell you there are three types of characters? One type is Kanji, similar to Chinese writing. But fortunately, unlike Chinese, there are only about 2,000 in common usage (Chinese has over 7,000). Then there are two 'alphabets,' one used for Japanese words, mostly grammar and verb endings, including tense and dialect. The other is mostly used for foreign words, and sometimes for accent. The problem is that they are not true alphabets, because there are 5 vowels, and then 41 'combined sounds' similar to a syllable. All this plus two 'modifiers' makes for entertaining pronunciation. Bible equals Ba-i-bu-ru in English, Sei-sho (holy book) in Japanese. Christ is Ki-ri-su-to. Jesus is I-e-su. First lesson FREE! In Christ Jesus, charis |

charis, yore Japuneze brethren and cistern ain't got nuthin' on us Arkansaw hillbillies. We got Bibels what is so backerds that them maps comes first, next is the book of Concordunce, and then Revelleation an' it goes that way all thru to the last book, which is the book of Geniuses. But us folks all ways totes our Bibels to 1st Babtist Church ever Sonday in hopes we can find some body that can read them to us. Our pasture is a right smart man, being that he went clear thru the 8th grade in a Bibel cemetery, an' he can reed something wonferfull. He knows a whole lot about the Ology an' other fancy notions, but mainly he jest sticks to the Bibel. Us folks got a notion that the Ology ain't real necessary as long as a feller believes what the Lord said and tries to follow His tracks. Our pasture he preached about Moses and the bull rushers yesterday. Boy, was that a exsightin' storie! He said the Skriptur was found in Exoducks, which is the next to last book in the Arkansaw Bibel. Next week he said he was goin' to be preachin' on Penny Cost which is found in the 2nd Chapiter of the book of Axe. I cain't hardly weight to here it. Yep, us folks totes our Bibels on the outside and try to tote a little of what it says on the inside too. That means in our hearts. --Bubba Hank | ||||||
