Very large knight's move approach  

The very large knight's move may also be used to approach a corner stone very loosely (J: dai-dai-geima-gakari).


A knight's move with four lines between the two stones would be called in Japanese: makadaidai or in Kanji, 摩訶大大 (Source: [ext] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maka_dai_dai_shogi)

It is not a go term though. Its use in shogi is due only to the fact that the people inventing the large variants were Buddhist priests. Maka is Sanskrit maha = big.
