Koromo

Since I really didn't have anything to say today, but also have nothing to do at work, I thought I'd spend some time teaching you how to name clothes. Surprisingly, though we covered several items of clothing, we didn't actually learn what the word for clothes was. So, once again I came across a few words that not only meant clothes like 'emon', 'fuku' (foo-koo), and 'ifuku' (ee-foo-koo). (In both these cases, the 'u' is not silent.)

emon: drapery, dress, clothes
fuku: crawl, to blow, to emit, to wipe, clothes.
ifuku: awe, child of a different mother, clothes, awe into submission.
koromo: clothes

Lovely, so now you know how to say several things in Japanese, but you won't be able to name individual items of clothing. Ah well...
