kor (choir, Indonesian)

Not to be confused with the closely related Standard Malay’s kor, which means “corps”.

遺孤 iko (orphan, Japanese)

Aptly, it’s a homophone of 依估 (unfairness).

It looks like originally meant orphan, and came to mean loneliness in modern Japanese. It’s clearly based on the more common ko, , which means child.

“two standardised varieties of the Malay language, used in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, respectively”.

Two varieties used in four (?) locations “respectively”? How’s that, I wonder?

Bonus point for a go term! (Bugcat has yet to recognize this rule, but I will keep pushing for it, despite there being no points in the game anyway.)

Fitte (dense, Italian)

Fitte still fits :slight_smile:

Oops I forgot to check. Bitte has already been played.

So in my previous message I replace “bitte” with “fitty”.
