Jujinage

Hello. I searched the language forum and didn't find anything.

Looked in the aikiweb dictionary and found "The figure 10 throw".

I just started studying japanese, and I understand that "Ju" is "10" and is represented by a cross shape (which explains the signifigance of that aspect of the naming of the technique), and that "nage" is "throw", but what is "ji"?

I looked it up in a romaji to english translator and couldn't find anything.

Any info on what "ji" is, and how it relates to the name of this technique would be a big help. Thanks.

W.

p.s. - Is the "ji" in "romaji" the same "ji"? What does it mean???
