Thank you for the suggestions! I probably was over thinking by trying to have a variety of word types (ie. verbs, nouns, adjectives, etc.)
Wow, I never knew that! I have a Japanese Bible too, so I can probably use that to come up with words. That’s a really great idea.
Koichi mentioned google searching for commonality too, but I didn’t think of using Wiki in Japanese as an alternative resource to Denshi Jisho for translations. Thanks!
