What does MON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A Japanese family badge: a stylised emblem showing which house a person belongs to.
A mon is drawn to work at any size — a circle, a leaf, a pair of feathers, cut back until it reads at a glance on a sleeve, a roof tile or a curtain. Families kept theirs for centuries and firms still use them, which is why a Japanese company mark often looks older than the company. The same three letters are also written for man in Scots and Caribbean speech, where it is simply how that word is said.
