General names
Information is based on dictionaries and other sources. Species list may not be current. Korean glosses are only tentative. Comments and corrections welcome.
The only member found in Japan is Cisticola juncidis (the Zitting Cisticola), which is known as the セッカ sekka. This is written 雪加 'snow add' or 雪下 'under snow' in Chinese characters. The characters are phonetically inspired (i.e., ateji) and do not represent a valid etymological meaning.
The word セッカ sekka is also used in the names of a number of birds in the Sylviidae, including the Megalurinae.
