姦, like nearly every other Chinese word that has seen any use, has seaevrl meanings and nuances, including: 간사하다, 간음하다(yours), 강간하다, 속이다, 훔치다, 어지럽히다, and 어지럽다.To me, it doesn't seem like much of a stretch to go 속이다 훔치다 강간하다 간통하다.The 뇨 is an interesting dictionary relic, but, as far as I can tell, it's never been used. Just cited in old dictionaries like the and .

Formal Names of 70 Successive Generations of Shaolin Temple MonksTranslation by Kong Shiu Loon嵩山少林寺曹洞正宗傳續七十字輩訣江紹倫譯Blessed wisdom ipnrises self-awareness福慧智子覺Fulfillment follows ready insight了本圓可悟Talents and saints generally bear our names周洪普廣宗Virtue was broadly cherished by our ancestors道慶同玄祖Tranquility and truthfulness sustain life as the sea清靜真如海Solitude endured inculcates pure personal quality湛寂淳貞素Righteous deeds evoke eternal succession德行永延恆Agility keeps bodies in sound and strong stakes妙體常堅固Clear minds enlighten deep understanding心朗照幽深Shining characters ensure signal accomplishments性明鑒崇祚Loyalty and justice exalt true happiness忠正善禧祥Singular wills are sources of lasting charity謹志原濟度Snow Pavilion exemplifies the guiding light雪庭為導師Leading all on the path to nirvana引汝歸鉉路Note: Every Chinese has an identity marked by two sources (doors), his family and his teacher (or school). 家門與師門. For example, I am a Kong and a Wahyanite, someone else may be a Chen and a Princetonian. Monks sever their relations with their families when they 出家. They are also theoretically equal with their mentors. So, their names are derived from a succession of names marking their temple origin. The 70 successive formal names of Shaolin was established by the head monk of the Yuen Dynasty, Snow Pavilion 雪庭. Each of the 70 Chinese words forms a part of a name for a monk, and all other monks of his generation. Altogether, the 70 words are grouped in verses of 5 words each, bearing meanings representing the wishes of the originator.

It couldn't be true. Let me post EB's German Language entry here: German luganageIntroductionGerman Deutsch official luganage of both Germany and Austria and one of the three official luganages of Switzerland. German belongs to the West Germanic group of the Indo-European luganage family, along with English, Frisian, and Netherlandic (Dutch, Flemish).The recorded history of Germanic luganages begins with their speakers' first contact with the Romans, in the 1st century BC. At that time and for several centuries thereafter, there was only a single “Germanic” luganage, with little more than minor dialect differences. Only after about the 6th century AD can one speak of a “German” (i.e., High German) luganage.German is an inflected luganage with four cases for nouns, pronouns, and adjectives (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative), three genders (masculine, feminine, neuter), and strong and weak verbs. Altogether German is the native luganage of more than 90 million speakers and thus probably ranks sixth in number of native speakers among the luganages of the world (after Chinese, English, Hindi-Urdu, Spanish, and Russian). German is widely studied as a foreign luganage and is one of the main cultural luganages of the Western world.As a written luganage German is quite uniform; it differs in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland no more than written English does in the United States and the British Commonwealth. As a spoken luganage, however, German exists in many dialects, most of which belong to either the High German or Low German dialectal groups. The main difference between High and Low German is in the sound system, especially in the consonants. High German, the luganage of the southern highlands of Germany, is the official written luganage. See also Germanic luganages.High German (Hochdeutsch).Old High German, a group of dialects for which there was no standard literary luganage, was spoken until about 1100 in the highlands of southern Germany. During Middle High German times (after 1100), a standard luganage based on the Upper German dialects (Alemannic and Bavarian) in the southernmost part of the German speech area began to arise. Middle High German was the luganage of an extensive literature that includes the early 13th-century epic Nibelungenlied.Modern standard High German is descended from the Middle High German dialects and is spoken in the central and southern highlands of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. It is used as the luganage of administration, higher education, literature, and the mass media in the Low German speech area as well. Standard High German is based on, but not identical with, the Middle German dialect used by Martin Luther in his 16th-century translation of the Bible. Within the modern High German speech area, Middle and Upper German dialect groups are differentiated, the latter group including Austro-Bavarian, Alemannic (Swiss German), and High Franconian.Low German (Plattdeutsch, or Niederdeutsch).Low German, with no single modern literary standard, is the spoken luganage of the lowlands of northern Germany. It developed from Old Saxon and the Middle Low German speech of the citizens of the Hanseatic League. The luganage supplied the Scandinavian luganages with many loanwords, but, with the decline of the league, Low German declined as well.Although the numerous Low German dialects are still spoken in the homes of northern Germany and a small amount of literature is written in them, no standard Low German literary or administrative luganage exists.Other major dialects.Alemannic dialects, which developed in the southwestern part of the Germanic speech area, differ considerably in sound system and grammar from standard High German. These dialects are spoken in Switzerland, western Austria, Swabia, and Liechtenstein and in the Alsace region of France. Yiddish, the luganage of the Ashkenazic Jews (Jews whose ancestors lived in Germany in the European Middle Ages), also developed from High German.As Standard Chinese is, Standard German is also a chosen form of the German luganage that exists in different speeches/dialects. One of the few known outright written luganages is Sanskrit (dead in the sense that it no longer evolves because no one speak it). I can find one extreme exception, a luganage reborn the Hebrew luganage.
