"yuri" is often written in katakana, in hiragana, or in kanji. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-03-15 19:11:07 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- When we write spicies¥' names, they are often written in katakana. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-03-15 19:54:47 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The asker¥'s explanation, ¥"the name of an animal, name of a flower¥", seems to suggest two names, one for an animal (tiger) and the other for a flower (lily), not one flower name (tiger lily). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-03-15 20:01:06 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If the asker try to find a Japanese name for ¥"tiger lily¥" (one flower name), it is ¥"オニユリ¥" (oni yuri), which literally means ¥"demon lily¥". Thanks go to Satoh-san. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-03-15 20:02:40 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry: try --> tries |
