Meaning and etymology, Japanese and, 1870s 3
Sunday night: the first line of the note is Meaning and etymology; 1870s and 1870 sit under it. Read “Japanese and” once at the table. At one name, the week’s work for Meaning and etymology is those three lines. Put Japanese and and 1870s before 1870.
Meaning and etymology is “Japanese and” in 1870s, and the figure kept beside it is 1870. This week, look at one name only, and choose either the rule or the use, not both. Do not mix sound and sense in one cell. Keep only the side you chose today. Hanja and generation names will remain cultural systems to describe, not to mystify. At the table, open Meaning and etymology so the note shows 1870s first, 1870 next, and “Japanese and” beside them.
This week, when you write a name, put that entry’s year and figure beside it, and add only one line for the sense. Read that one line to the family, and do not say a rank. The order is Meaning and etymology, 1870s, 1870, then “Japanese and”. When one name is done, look again only at 1870s for Meaning and etymology and leave 1870 on the note.
Do not line names up by fashion, and do not score someone else’s name. Check that the name on the note and the sound you said match, and write the line again if they do not.

Meaning and etymology is “Japanese and” in 1870s, and the figure kept beside it is 1870.
