The meaning of 'kaze' is entirely dependent upon it's contextual use, but the two meanings for it are 風邪 (kaze) which is used for "cold" (like the illness) or chills and 風 (kaze) which means "wind" or "breeze".

KAJI / KAZI - Housework, Housekeeping

KAJI / KAZI - Fire, Blaze

KAJI / KAZI - Rudder

The roman lettered word "KAZI" is not really known in Japanese. Japanese language is obviously written,... in Japanese; and when written in Roman letters, words often vary in their spelling, as the Japanese language is really not 'designed' to be written this way.

Writing Japanese in Roman letters is referred to as Romaji... or Romanji... see what I mean?!

KAZI is a Romaji spelling of (the now generally accepted) KAJI, pronounced in Japanese, the "J" is fairly soft and "Z-like" KAZI (KAH-ZHEE), so it is understandable that it has been written both ways in Romaji.

Masayoshi Shibatani, The Languages of Japan (Cambridge Language Surveys series), page 203., uses the "KAZI" spelling in Romaji, however most modern dictionaries will spell all of the above definitions using a "J", "KAJI"

A word that is sometimes mistakenly written KAZI(KAH-ZEE) is KAZE (KAH-ZEH).

KAZE - Wind (e.g. Kamikaze - divine wind)

KAZE - Cold (as in the flu, "I've got a nasty cold")
