"Can it, Kunou-*senpai*!" said Ranma as he moved

Gary: Uh... senpai? Shouldn't it be sempai?
Daisuke: Maybe it's a play on words, making fun of Kuno's title.
Gary: OK, but what does it mean?
Hiroshi: How should we know? We're dubbed into English!

	Actually, "senpai" is correct. After all, the only consonant that
can be directly followed by another consonant in the Japanese language is
"n". (Note also that all Japanese words end in vowels...or the letter
"n".) However, the pronunciation sounds out to be that of an "m", for
reasons I have not fathomed (those crazy Japanese). The effect is similar
to "konbanha" (the correct spelling) sounding like "konbanwa" (the correct
pronunciation, but not romanization). And on yet another note, it seems
like the syllable "su" most of the time eliminates the "u" sound
(gozaimasu sounds like gozaimas', sumo sounds like s'mo, etc.).
