2402. Which one of these is the odd one out and what's the big deal about it? 作 勢 役 望 病


作  SAKU, SA, tsuku(ru) - make

勢  SEI, ikio(i) - force, energy, vigor, trend

役  YAKU, EKI - post, service, battle

望  BOU, mou, nozo(mu) - hope

病  BYOU, HEI, ya(mu), yamai - sick, illness, suffer from

All take 大 (DAI, oo(kii) - big) in front to make a word, but only 大勢 uses the "Oo" reading (Oozei); the others are all "Tai/Dai-":   

大作  taisaku - a great work

大勢  oozei - many people

大役  taiyaku - an important role

大望  taimou - a great hope

大病  taibyou - serious illness
