pagination; page numbering
Refers to the act or process of assigning page numbers, especially in books, documents, or manuscripts.
The pagination of this book is wrong.
I number the pages of the manuscript.
Compound of 丁 (chō, 'page' or 'leaf') and 付け (tsuke, 'attaching' or 'assigning'), literally 'page attaching'. The reading ちょうづけ follows standard rendaku voicing.
