There are already a bunch of websites on the net that help you find synonyms for various words, but only a handful that help you find related, or even loosely associated words. So although you might see some synonyms of koan in the list below, many of the words below will have other relationships with koan - you could see a word with the exact opposite meaning in the word list, for example. So it's the sort of list that would be useful for helping you build a koan vocabulary list, or just a general koan word list for whatever purpose, but it's not necessarily going to be useful if you're looking for words that mean the same thing as koan (though it still might be handy for that).
If you're looking for names related to koan (e.g. business names, or pet names), this page might help you come up with ideas.

If your pet/blog/etc. has something to do with koan, then it's obviously a good idea to use concepts or words to do with koan.

That's about all the koan related words we've got! I hope this list of koan terms was useful to you in some way or another. The words down here at the bottom of the list will be in some way associated with koan, but perhaps tenuously (if you've currenly got it sorted by relevance, that is).
