Cape/Promontory - AussieTrooper - 2015-06-02
A while ago someone posted the three kanji that are for cape/promontory or similar. I know two so far, but can't recall the third. The two I know are, 埼 cape 崎 promontory. Does anybody know the third, or could they point me to the thread (I can't find it.)

I think he means 岬.

A promontory is like a cape with mountains jutting out instead of just grounds.
Interestingly, there is also 碕 which is made of the primitives stone and strange. The three kanjis 碕, 埼 and 崎 all have the same meanings and pronunciations. They have very little uses other than names, for which promontory is the clear winner with over 2300 uses in place and people names, while the other two kanjis account for less than 200 names.

Like Robik said, all three mean exactly the same thing, 崎 just happens to be the most common.

Thanks for this. I was inspired to add the following to my list of "ticky" groups to practice together (don't know how to edit the title to say "tricky"):
