Hi ahmad abou taleb and welcome to the Forums.

With reference to the above post and your other regarding Karate stances, most here are fully aware of those terms, but thank you for posting.

Regarding using specific statements like 'Complete Japanese Hand Strike Guide' - a note of caution...

Whilst there are many terms that are used between systems, there are a plethora of others that aren't

Even within Karate circles - specific styles use different terminology for the same technique.

If we broaden that to Japanese Budo as a whole - the list is even more expansive.
