	HAWAII CLIPPER: Pan Am Clipper---Hijacked!---by Japanese Navy Officers, 1938 - Home Page
		There, her fifteen passengers and crew were murdered and entombed, reportedly face down, within the poured-concrete foundation slab of the infamous naval hospital, being built on Unimakur Mountain, at Dublon Island, overlooking the fleet's Eten Anchorage.
		Painted in Japanese colors, Hawaii Clipper reportedly survived to the war's end and was inspected, in Yokosuka, Japan, by senior American officers, then present for the Japanese surrender.
		The answer is, "Help to break the silence." As more word of the Clipper gets out, the more it will spread, until it breaks the cycle of disinformation and silence, which may resume this year, in a documentary about PAA.

	Japanese counter word
		In Japanese counter words or counters (josūshi 助数詞) are used along with numbers to enumerate objects.
		In Japanese, as in Chinese, numerals cannot quantify nouns by themselves (except, in certain cases, for the numbers from one to ten; see below).
		Counter words are similar in function to the word "sheet" in "two sheets of paper" or "loaf" in "two loaves of bread," (see mass nouns), but in Japanese all nouns require a counter.

	Counters
		Japanese doesn't care much about singular, plural, definite, or indefinite, so the example can mean any combination of either a cat, the cat, cats, or the cats and either an ear, the ear, ears, or the ears.
		The euphonic change rules of small numbers are applied to counters, so the "san" changes "h" in the "hiki" into "b".
		Japanese has another set of number names from the ones I explained in the small numbers chapter.

	Japanese language Summary
		The only word order restriction is that the verb must come at the end of a sentence; otherwise, words can be randomly ordered because of the presence of conjugational suffixes and case particles that mark the function of words in a sentence.
		In addition, it is commonly felt that the shorter a Japanese sentence is, the more iki it is. As a result of this grammatical permissiveness and tendency towards brevity, Japanese speakers tend naturally to omit words from sentences, rather than refer to them with pronouns.
		Words such as wanpataan (< one + pattern, "to be in a rut", "to have a one-track mind") and sukinshippu (< skin + -ship, "physical contact"), although coined by compounding English roots, are nonsensical in a non-Japanese context.

		The gesture is analogous to a Bronx cheer or "Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah."
		Its classical meaning is "metamorphosis, transformation." It later came to mean "abnormality," and in modern colloquial Japanese is used almost exclusively to mean "pervert" or "perversion." When a woman insults a man in anime, she generally uses on of three terms: hentai, sukebe, and etchi.
		There are signs that Japanese teenagers and young adults are starting to use omae as an all-purpose pronoun analogous to the English "you." This practice is not entrenched in the language yet, and older usages still survive, so use omae with caution.

		Instead, she delivered a scheduled speech to a Japanese business group, saying "the relationship between the two countries is not satisfactory or benign." She then had lunch with business leaders, many of whom have been alarmed by anti-Japanese sentiment in China.
		This, however, has never proved to be a sufficient explanation for China, which regards visits to the shrine by top Japanese leaders as a part of a larger pattern of the glorification of Japan's militarist past.
		Progress can be made if the Japanese government reconsiders once and for all Japan's wartime aggression, and realizes that anything associated with that shameful history cannot be honoured.
