It's quite simple when broken down, this is how I read it based on my knowledge.
shi = four.
ten = heaven. (ten = short for tengoku)
ou = king.
The extra 'n' doesn't seem to matter, try typing 'てん' in jp and you see that it only equals 1 'n' character. When I type in japanese, I merely press the '-/+' key and then backspace to make the 'ん' character- I normally use this method when there isn't anything after the character.
Though if it's looked at as if the extra 'n' did matter, then that would turn the word ou(king)- into nou(brain). |
