Same goes for me. Very often my Japanese students give me a puzzled look when I mention "suki" and even when I remind them of the kanji (空き), they seem to stagger through the meaning. Very interesting indeed.

Hello Joseph,
Interesting. I can see that a reading for 空 is
suku However, for
suki, my computer gives 透き and 隙 (also read as
hima), which have a temporal as well as a spatial dimension.
