Chinese (Mandarin, Canton, Taiwanese) words for juggling?

[Scott R Parker]

Hey, can anyone tell me how to say juggling in these languages?

Mandarin, Cantonese, Taiwanese, or any other dialects of chinese?

Also, what does the character look like? anyone happen to have an
ascii pic of it?

Much obliged!

[asking about the words for juggling in mandarin and cantonese]

I don't know the words for juggling but diabolo in Mandarin in kong (1st
tone) zhou (fourth tone) which mean 'bamboo space' I can't remember the
characters that well though.

How about the Klingon word for 'juggling'?

P.S. You think I'm joking. No, there really is a Klingon
language-- someone developed a dictionary even!

As far as I know, Klingon (which I _DON'T_ speak) is primarily a
military language. There is a Klingon language fair somewhere, where
they play softball- the "pitcher" becomes the "gunner", etc... Perhaps
there is a Klingon word for "knife throwing", and that could be adapted,
but I don't think there would be have a non-military activity such as
juggling in the Klingon vocabulary.

Esperanto (which I *DO* speak) has words for juggling, all made from
the base word "j^ongli" (the ^ goes over the j, and the word means "to
juggle"). j^onglado (the activity), j^onglisto (the person), ...

There is even a small group of international esperanto-speaking
jugglers. There was a youth Esperanto festival either the week before
or the week after the Montreal IJA festival, and since the Esperanto
festival was also held in Montreal, several attended (I wish I hadn't
had to miss both of them).

Ok, I just posted the Chinese word for juggling on my FTP site. It should
be up on my WWW page in the How-To section. As Ascii is a poor excuse for
Chinese, it is in gif files. (I also had Infinite Illusions translated)

(the Chineese for juggler, drop the bottom character and you have juggle,
specificily balls. I understand the chops literaly translate into drag
balls)

and!

for Infinite Illusions Juggling Company (my friend Lee, Dynamite devil
stick builder, who was born in Taiwan, had trouble with the word
"supplies". Apparently it does not translate well as part of a name of a
company.)
