嵌合

kangou
fit together, fit

The annoying thing is that this term (read as kangou) does not show up in my Windows IME. I bet it would on my Hackintosh, though. Anyway... It does have an alternate reading, though. 嵌め合い hameai (same meaning), which does show up in the IME, albeit with okurigana, the additional characters. That first character is cool, no? I had not seen it before. It can mean 'to go into', 'to plunge', or even 'to inlay'.
