Koichi Tateishi's article "Deictic Properties of Origami Technical Terms and Translatability: Cross-Linguistic Differences Between English and Japanese" can be partially read at the Google Books version of *Origami^5*( http://goo.gl/lyoox), the Proceedings of the 5OSME Conference. An abstract for his research is available at http://origamiusa.org/files/5osme_016_tateishi.pdf, among the other abstracts at http://origamiusa.org/5osme_program. Tateishi refers to a "long list of origami technical terms" in pages 13-39 of Robert Lang's *Origami Design Secrets*. Many articles relating to using Origami in education can be found in the proceedings of the previous OSME conferences.
