@Myth: In Japanese, 99% of kanji have two readings: on reading (the Chinese reading of a kanji character) and kun reading (the native Japanese reading associated with the meaning of a kanji). I actually made a mistake, it's Ko and not Bō (corrected). The kanji for "tiger" (虎) has a kun reading (tora), and on reading (ko). In Japanese, the on reading is the reading used when two kanji are joined (the majority of times). The term "tiger's den" (虎穴) is read as " ko ketsu", ko being the on reading of "tiger", and ketsu being the on reading for "den" (穴).
