Japan is Japan everywhere except Japan.
Everyone uses the name that China used. I guess that's the benefit and downside of only having one neighbor.
This caused me to think about upside versus downside and benefit versus some word that isn't anti-benefit, unbenefit, abenefit, ilbenefit, irbenefit, imbenefit, inbenefit, debenefit, disbenefit. There is no etymological related antonym to benefit.
malefit?
I like the way you think
Yeah but Nippon is reaaally close to the word.
The only exception I could find is that Japan is 'Japon' in Bambara.
