Does anyone know what "jukai" means? Does it exist in the Japanese language?
Some said it means 'birth or emergence'. Some said it is not "jukai" but maybe
"jetai" 'fertilization, conception (breeding)'.

What does "jukai" mean?
I only find 3 occurrences of `じゅかい` in my 大辞泉 (none of them dealing with
birth):

  * 受戒 → accepting/receiving Buddhist precepts
  * 授戒 → giving/conferring Buddhist precepts to followers
  * 樹海 → a "sea of trees"; "broad expanse of dense woodland"

`Jetai` is not a Japanese word.
