Default raven and rabbit?

Hi all!

I have seen the kanji for raven (nelson 229) and rabbit (198) written together...What word does it form? I guess it means something like "fast"...?

Regars,

Post First times....

Hi Tommy.
I have only ever seen this combination used in a Kyusho chart I have...The word formed is 'Uto' (Being 'Karasu'/'U' or Crow/Raven and 'Usagi'/'To' or Rabbit)...I could find no common usages of this combination and as I said, have only seen it used for Kyusho.
The site designated by these Kanji was 'Ryogan' or both eyes...Maybe the Kanji could mean simply 'the crow and rabbit' in reference to each eye together....But I cannot say I am certain either way...
HTH.
Regards

FYI the proper name ‰G“e?À (Utonuma, raven rabbit lake) is not very popular but it's out there.
