Hi there! I'm looking for particular kanji which correspond to certain sounds (I can only write them in romaji coz I don't have the programme for hiragana ^^). I would be really grateful if anyone could tell me, what are kanji that match the following pronunciations:
kin
sao
ikioa
(maybe the last one needs 2 kanji?)
Of course, probably there are many! So if you could let me know of 3 or 4 kanji for each of the romaji clusters I listed, and, the meanings for them too of course!
Maybe this sounds a bit of a strange request, but I assure you there's a reason lol! You can always email me if you are curious to know the reason.
If anyone can help me, thank you so much.

I'm definately not an expert (about 4 weeks of study), but I'll tey to help out.


Kin:
The most common of 39 possibilities for きん:
金 Gold
禁 Prohibition
菌 Germ
筋 Muscle
斤 Loaf
今 Now

Sao:
The most common of 46 possibilities for さお:
竿 Pole
棹 Pole

Ikioa:
Doesn't have a simple one or two kanji. Seems more like a phrase. Or part of one. I'll email you for details.
