Do you know the way to San Jose?
Do you know where you’re going to?
Point me in the direction of Albuquerque!
These lyrics come from very different songs. (And if you recognize the last lyric, you should join me in the Music Hall of Shame for knowing anything about this band!)
The Japanese versions of these lyrics would most likely include 順, since 順 words tend to show up in words about itineraries. Take, for example, the following:
順路 (junro: the regular route, itinerary) the way + road
道順 (michijun: itinerary, route) the way + orderIf you take the top two strokes off of 首 (neck) and stick them underneath, you get 頁 (page, leaf, head). And these two characters combine in 道順! Pretty neat, huh?!
