I tried to identify it many time but I couldn't find any information about it. It's like it doesn't exist. What is it? Regards, KELP. Report this Post to the Staff

Examples are illustrated here on this zeno.ru page. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.

Krause also notes that "varieties exist"; the zeno.ru pages go into more detail on this. There probably isn't too much demand for the varieties outside of Japan.
