It must be noted, however, that the Japanese, with their natural acquisitiveness, have added large umbers of English worde to their occidental language, especially terms for which no native words exist. A few such wards Jiave been borrowed arithout change In spelling, and may end in consonants other than "N. But for the moat part English words ere Nipponized so as to conform to the pattern, thus: Cream: Kurilmu, Pilot: Pairotto, Match: MatchL Roast Beef: Rosu Biifu. The name Japan evolved from Marco Polo's account of visiting a group of marvelous islands off the east coast of Asia. Ha gave tha islands the name of Zlpaagn, a corsun ruption ef a word meaning origin." The English changed to Ctpaege, and thia, in turn. Anally became Japan. The original Japanese name for the islands wee Nikas, meaning "artgln mt light" hence (be tonsillar traneUUan, The Lend ef the Later, NIhea wee Rising Sun. changed to Nippon (English pronunNip-pociation: Japanese: NYIP- pone), and Dai Klppan, great Japan, became the official name, eradicate-WN- U raaturaa.
