RAIMBAULT ROUILLE et Les 500 kanji (ellipses)


Raimbault and Rouillé in their book Les 500 kanji saw fit to throw in compounds made with kanji which are not found in any of the 3 indices to that book.  Vexing. In one case the font used makes a kanji difficult to make out (for its high price, the printer and typesetter have let down the user.)

Rather than rail against them, I have started some web pages for those who buy the book and run into these not infrequent vexations and a few errors that seem inexcusable for a mere 500 entries for 50$ ( with 1500 often vexing compounds chosen, it seems, on a whim.)

Is that ellipses or elisions ?
