Ishidate
Ishidate ( 石立て ) is a Japanese go term literally meaning setting up stones or the setup of the stones.
Bill: I think that it is a synonym for fuseki, but there may be nuances. Another synonym: Ishi no kamae ( 構え )?
Bob McGuigan: I wouldn't call it a synonym for fuseki, but setup seems OK, as does kamae as a synonym. Kamae also has the sense of structure, which seems appropriate in this case. If the word "framework" weren't already taken as a translation of moyou I might want to use framework for kamae.
