Note on Japanese usage: oshi and hai

The Japanese noun directly corresponds to 'Push' is oshi. But if the move is on the third line or lower and touching the opponent's stone from below, the move is called a hai (crawl). Therefore in the above diagram is a hai, not oshi in Japanese.

in these diagrams are both on the third line, but have different names -- they are decided by relative positions to the opponent's stones as shown.
