what does yori mean?

[tommysella]

Hi all!

I have started to translate a Asayama Ishiden-ryu book containing a lot of techniques...I'm using the JWP wordprocessor...

My gramar is not that good and I wonder I someone could explain what "yori" written with katakana means...I have found it a lot in the descriptions I have seen...I have included the som of the text so it becomes easier to see the yori in it's context...

Hi

before you translate any more I think you should look here. May save you a lot of time and effort

Yes...I have seen it...But I'm translating an other book aswell (and that book cannot be found in english), and yori is used often there aswell...

And also the translating thing is really improving my knowledge in understanding japanese :-)

It would be nice to see the whole sentence to have more of a context, but looking at what we have the ƒˆƒŠ is referring to ŠO‘¤ (outside), so it would read "from the outside." ‚æ‚è and ‚©‚ç in this context (from) are interchangeable.

This was the whole sentence. It's a description of what's going on in a kata...

I think it means "from" in the context of the sentence.

Am I on someone's ignore list or is there an echo in here?:(
