彁

A 幽(ゆう)霊(れい)文(も)字(じ) (yūrei moji, “ghost character”), mistaken character which is registered in character code for Japanese, JIS X 0208); composed of the 弓 radical and 哥. Likely to be an error of 彊.


屎

⟨kuso₁⟩ → /kuso/
From Old Japanese, from Proto-Japonic *kusau. Cognate with 臭い (kusai, “stinky, smelly”), 腐る (kusaru, “to rot, to become stinky”).


コ

Simplified in the Heian period from the man'yōgana kanji 己.

ja-kana-mannyogana-etym

The katakana syllable コ (ko). Its equivalent in hiragana is こ (ko). It is the tenth syllable in the gojūon order; its position is カ行オ段 (ka-gyō o-dan, “row ka, section o”).


はた

Otherwise it may be identified as 機 (hata, “woven”). The pronunciation may have even been /hada/ since voicing is not always explicitly marked.

カムコーダー

ja-noun

カムコーダー • (kamukōdā)

→ English: camcorder

Japanese sources are inconsistent regarding the derivation.
* Some references record this as a borrowing from English camcorder, as a portmanteau of camera + recorder. However, Japanese-language references do not list any first date.
* The Japanese Patent Office records this as a registered trademark for Sony, first applied for in 1981.
The term seems to appear first in any language in the early 1980s, and references for English camcorder record the first citations from 1981, consistent with the possibility that this was coined by Sony.
Considering the phonetics, this does appear to be a blend of カメラ (kamera) + レコーダー (rekōdā) coined within Japanese as wasei eigo (和製英語; pseudo-anglicism). If this were a borrowing from English, the first mora would likely be キャ (kya) instead, as in other borrowings from English such as キャンデー (kyandē, “candy”), ギャル (gyaru, “gal”), キャスト (kyasuto, “cast”), or キャメル (kyameru, “camel”).

ち○ぽ

遅漏などのダウンち○ぽの際、

(1) パソコンに接続されているち○ぽを口で吸う
(2) パソコンに接続されているち○ぽを指でこすってあたためるのが有効だというのは本当でしょうか...
