Reading

てんぷ
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

The reading for is what you'd expect. The reading for is the on'yomi reading , which you've learned with 付近. But for this word it becomes from the rendaku fairies. Just think of an attachment where instead of a document or something, you get an attachment of poop (). What a gross attachment. Your friend who likes to send poop attachments is dumb.
