Again, it isn't the intent but the effect. I use terms such a "nebari" with those
who I know understand them. Not with people who don't.

my 2 cents of worth ..
I never cared very much for the japanese terms but they are nice to
define things that we have not exactly in our own languages as specific
to bonsai art.
So please why not adding to the japanese word the english for that ?
many people will learn little by little and many others will reject
anyway.. none will feel excluded unless if tehy decide to be excluded
....and everybody will be happy..
