When combined with other

When combined with other kanji, readings may have slight alterations to them.

For example: 秋空(あきぞら / Akizora)〓Autumn Sky
By themselves, they are read Aki and Sora, but combined they become Akizora.

You notice when some kanji are combined: H's become B's, K's become G's, S's become Z's, etc.

You'll get used to it. (^_-)b
