Ogeima

An ogeima is often referred to as a 'large knight's move', as the pattern is an extended version of the way the chess piece moves.



Though it is sometimes romanised as "o-geima", the leading "o-" syllable is not long; the "o-" rather indicates that this is the Japanese honorific prefix, elevating a mere "keima" (knight move) to "big keima" (big knight move).

It _is_ long and the meaning is big keima (oogeima). (Oo not ou because it is from old oho- not afu- ) If the honorific was present it would be o-keima. JF
