same kind, collect, classify, category

About this kanji

The kanji 「彙」 has the primary meaning of categorizing or classifying things, often related to a group of similar items. It's commonly used as a noun rather than a verb. For instance, in the compound 語彙 (ごい), which means "vocabulary," it refers to a collection of words in a language. Another compound, 辞彙 (じい), means "glossary," a list of terms and their meanings, helping to classify language. Additionally, 彙報 (いほう) means "bulletin," typically a classified report. Note that while it can refer to a hedgehog (はりねずみ) in its kun'yomi use, you'll encounter it more often in these combined terms.

Example sentences

• 各種の彙記を同封する。

  I will enclose various compilations.
