英 kanji compounds


http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E8%8B%B1#Compounds

The English wiktionary has some excellent pages for kanji compounds.

The page above is for  英

英気 (えいき, eiki)
英語 (えいご, eigo)
英国 (えいこく, eikoku)
英断 (えいだん, eidan)
英和 (えいわ, eiwa)
英知 (えいち, eichi)
英智 (えいち, Eichi)
英雄 (えいゆう, eiyū)
英霊 (えいれい, eirei)
石英 (せきえい, sekiei)  quartz

I might add

英会話 (えいかいわ, eikaiwa)
English conversation ( and so, in context, such a school or course)

The page denshi jisho has several expressions ending in 英

Currently Google translate offers only 'British' in English for 英 and so that is all that can be given for other languages ( but even denshi jisho has anglais for French, but not britannique !)

Possibilities :

花咲く  bloom, infloresence
輝かしい brilliant  but see 賢い and several cognate expressions

compare: 開花
