Dear All,

I just noticed that in Moriteru Ueshiba Doshu's 'Best Aikido' books, he uses the word Dai in between the attack name and the technique name. For examples, Shomen uchi sankyo omote is discribed as Shomen uchi Dai sankyo omote.

So my question is what does 'dai' mean? is it some sort of japanese grammar article or adjective or else?

Thanks.
