I am searching for the name of a phenomenon I noticed in japanese.
An example for a phenomenon is 連濁
The phenomenon I noticed is words that are created by two similar kanji, variants of one another or kanji that can be used to create the same words.
喪う often written as 失う.
When you take this two kanji that can be used to create the same verb you get a word 喪失
河 and 川 are both river. when those two variants are combined we get 河川
停 and 止 can be used to write とまる and とめる (although the latter is more common). When combine 停止
温 and 暖 are both warm(used to describe different things) when combined 温暖
How is this thing called?
