Do you have a list of all alternatives of all things?
The words for piano, violin, and accordion well predate the wartime efforts to eliminate enemy words.
That’s true. Older words, but certainly encouraged more during that era!
Presumably the unwieldiness was part of the point... “Maybe if we make it really inconvenient to talk/write about saxophones, people will just give up using them”
(In the music shop) ‘Can I get one of those back-and-forth metally, er, one of those retractable twisted...can I get a shamisen please?’
Is there a full list of these alternatives?
The weird thing is, many of these words originated with their allies, the Germans and Italians.
