Are interjections allowed? Checked the rules and saw no mention as to yes or not...

うわ - uwa - Wow!; Holy smokes!; Aaargh!; O my God!

I don't see why not, though うわ is pushing it a bit imo. It's not really a word, just a sound - the Japanese equivalent of going "Wha!" when someone sneaks up on you from behind and surprises you.

Yeah, I thought it was pushing it too, but I figured it was worth a shot.

No verbs allowed, remember. Also, that's a whole sentence, not just one word (ii ka gen ni suru, if you were to include spaces). And a quick grammar note: I believe the correct form should be する, not しる (since it's the verb する, to do). You normally hear it as しなさい in this phrase.

羸曠 (るいこう, ruikou) - ruined and vacant (a buddhist term, I believe)

It's not a する verb. It's not even a verb. It's an expression, and the only kanji in it (加減) operates as either a noun or a な adjective, depending on the usage. Also, the しる part is not part of any verb, it is part of にしろ, which means "even though" or "whether".  :police:

But I didn't know expressions weren't allowed. My bad!
