Didn't find the "zuo2 kou3 yu3" (left-eyed fish) in my sources: a pretty mo= =3D=0D dern word for "Flunder" seems to be something=20 pronounced like "ye4" (with the character composed by yu2 and ye4, the latt= =3D=0D er with the meaning of "a tablet/flat pieces of wood/a=20 slip/a leaf"). Another more common word for "Plattfisch" is "pi4 mu4 yu2" (about: pair-eye= =3D=0D d fish/neighbour-eyed fish). Have no opinion,=20 though, on which side is up... ;-) Oh, wait a minute, here I found a bit on those fish (German and Latin): Plattfische/Pleuronectidae: Steinbutt/Scophtalmus maximus: left Heilbutt/Hippoglossus hippoglossus: right Scholle or Goldbutt/Pleuronectes platessa: (mostly) right Kliesche/Pleuronectes limanda: right Flunder/Pleuronectes flesus: right or left (!) Seezunge/Solea solea: right Rot- or Hundszunge/Cynoglossus cynoglossus: right (These are all I found - no Polynesian "polgosu" or drata mlafi'e among the= =3D=0D m!) .aulun.
