It's a value judgement. How big is a load?

Serge Wrote:Or because mixing kun- and on-yomi is not something that is seen very often?

I totally agree. It is a fact that most kanji compounds are 音・音 pairs. However for anyone willing to look for them, there are a certain number (some might even consider it a "load") of 訓・音 or 音・訓 pairs.

Such words do exist but there are no 'loads' of them. Raichu's examples from the first set are, technically speaking, compound words formed in different ways, not entirely representative of the phenomenon. The second list comes closer.

While ON-ON compounds are far more plentiful and KUN-KUN compuonds still more numerous, I think that there are loads of compounds that involve ON and KUN readings. There's a whole section of the 漢検 dedicated to pointing them out. Here are a few more:

手帳、重箱、係長、新型、雑木林、大判、道順、両足、塩気、横町、夕飯、残高、消印、味方、桜草、試合、布地、梅酒

Heisig's system depends on each keyword being unique. But one keyword comes up twice (oops). Which is it?

Katsuo is very dedicated to his studies.

I'm still curious about this one! What is it?

In my book, 4th edition, graceful comes up twice -- frame 721 and again in frame 1907.

EDIT: Storehouse, too (589, 850)
