相撲=> Sumou / 撲 onyomi ボク. How is this possible? - al4bandi - 2011-04-09
I'm very confused about the Kanji 撲 its Onyomi Readings are ボク. As far as i searched it is only ボク, so how is it possible to appear in 相撲 Sumou without ボク ? Same question about 相 its on readings are ショウ and ソウ and is written すもう. Please help me out of my dilemma =(.

Thanks in forward

It's an example of ateji (also called "jukujikun" in this case), where the compound has its own reading that doesn't have anything to do with the readings of the individual kanji. 今日 = きょう and 一日 = ついたち are two other examples (of many).

Thank you for this fast and reliable post =). I stumbled across quite a few of this kanji compunds, and i read about the "ateji" but never knew it's core meaning. Thank you for this quick lesson =)!

I saw a word the other day which had multiple kanji representing one hiragana. Can't remember for the life of me what it was though.

The Koujien has 豆汁 read as ご although I've never seen this word in real life. I think I've seen some other instances of this in place names but I can't think of any actual words that use it.
