Personal website for Yuka MORI
My name
My legal name is Yuka MORI. (My first name is Yuka)
真空
Usually, I am called with '真空' or its variations:
- 真空 (in Japanese) (on-yomi) Shinku / しんくう /ˈsinkuu/, pitch: HLLL [ɕiŋkɯ̟ː] (but commonly LHHH)
- 真空 (in Japanese) (kun-yomi) Masora / まそら /masoraˈ/, pitch: LHH [mäso̞ɾä]
- 真空 (in Chinese) (Mandarin Chinese) Zhēnkōng
This word literally means "vacuum", with '真' meaning 'true' and '空' meaning 'emptiness'.
Handles & Alternative Names
I also use the Latin transliteration of 真空: Vericava (true emptiness).
I use the word metastable-void/metastable.void/metastable_void sometimes for usernames.
I have an alternative name @ (At or あっと).
