Hello, I am a native Kansai ben speaker. I have some comments on your 
table.

>Kansai                  Canto                   English
>-------------------------------------------------------------
>E                       Ii                      good

Not "E" but "eE" is correct. In general, there is no short 
monosyllable in Kansai ben. For example, "Ki" (tree) becomes "KiI", 
"Ke" (hair) becomes "KEe".

>Katta                   Karita                  borrowed

I don't use "Katta" and I have never heard it.

>Yo iwan                 Totemo iwanai           do not dare to say

"Yo^" + verb (shu^shi kei) is "have an ability to do". So,
"Omae kono hashi yo^ wataru ka?" ---> "Do you have the courage to 
cross this bridge?" And 
"Akan. Yo^ wataran wa" is " ---> "No. I'm afraid to cross it."

>Donkusai                Mittomonai              ugly

Though "Donkusai" and "Mittomonai" are also translated to "ugly", 
their meanings are quite different. But I can't express the difference 
in English. "Donkusai to Mittomonai no chigai ha eigo yato yo^ 
kakimasen".

>Mechikoi                Shitsukoi               persistent

Not "Mechikoi" but "Nechikoi" is correct. "Nechikoi" is slite 
different from "Hitsukoi", whichi is Kansai dialect of "Shitsukoi". I 
think sticky is more suitable for "Nechikoi".

I'm sorry for my poor English.   H. Tamura

Once upon a time there was a bug that "kaburu" the "goki".
So they named a bug "goki-kaburi". Now that has turned into "gokiburi".

Well, what are "goki" and "kabaru" anyway?

As we all know "go-something" is a polite way to say, so is "go-ki".
"ki" is a bowl/dish where foods are put in/on. On the other hand,
one of the meanings of the verb "kaburu" is "to bite".

Not a bit, but very, very slowly, and *clearly*. If you really want to

If what you have given above (after "Monotarinai means:") is not a literal

for translating literally, or making sense.

The problem here, and in your first lines (the "Comes From:" lines) is that
there is no "coming from" or "getting X out of Y" involved.  The Japanese
had 'mono' and the ancestor of 'tariru' long before they ever learned to
incorporate the Chinese words for "thing," "foot," and "suffice" as 'butu/motu,'
'soku,' and 'soku,' respectively, into new Japanese words.
    The Chinese had one pronunciation that meant both "foot" and "suffice."
Whether it is the same etymon or not I don't know; considering English 
expressions like "foot the bill" shows that it is possible.  In any event,
the same character was used for both meanings.  Japanese didn't have one
pronunciation for both senses (verbs and nouns are rather different
in Japanese anyway), so they had to use two entirely different words to
translate 'soku' (or, to put it more accurately, they wrote two different
words with the same bisemous Chinese character).

>The problem with something like this is that 'monotarinai', though it has all

I could use some help on this one.  I haven't figured out a way to distinguish
between real idioms and regular expressions yet.  Hints?

Hello.  My name is Kohtaro.

I am currently looking for a Japanese word-processing software, or
a Japanese system software, for Apple Macintosh.

I am a student in the University of Colorado, Boulder Campus, and I also 
work as a student computer advisor at Anderson language Technology Center,
which is located on campus.

Due to the growing number of students learning Japanese, we need to 
have some kind of software with which students can write Japanese.  If we 
obtain a Japanese system software, probably we can build a Japanese tutorial
program.

If you know anything about a Japanese Macintosh software, please write me
back.  I will greatly appreciate it.

By the way, I established with several American friends a group called 
Japan-U.S. Association last year.  We study Japan-U.S. relations, and try to
promote better understanding of current political, economic, and social issues
between the United States and Japan.  I will probably post articles regarding
the activities of this group to this newsgroup from time to time.

	"otanoshimi-kudasai"
	"gotannou-kudasai"
not quite becoming.  The reason for this would be the attitude
of considering it a bit rude to openly admit having pleasure, let alone
"pressing" it to others.  I'd even suggest being careful using "otanoshimi"
in certain contexts -- when said to a couple, it would often imply
sarcasm or teasing.
An alternative is "goyukkuri", meaning "please take your time" or
"be at leisure" -- fit for situations like being in a restaurant.

I say this because I myself feel it a bit awkward hearing words like
"have fun!" or "enjoy!".  I also somewhat hesitate replying to that
customized "how'ya doin' today?" -- though I suspect few would respond
with anything other than "fine!".  This reminds me of an occasion when
a supermarket cashier said this to me -- knowing I passed out aspirin
and flu tablets, looking pale and coughing.
