I was wondering if anyone could help to describe to me how you would read a kanji compound (I know you usually use the onyomi when there is a compound, but when I type in the onyomi, it doesn't come up with the correct Kanji. I'm wondering if I'm using the wrong reading.)
Most specifically, how would you read this?: 白火 The only reading I type which immediately gives it to me would be Hakuhi, but doesn't 'hi' usually become 'bi' when used as a compound?
Or when you make a kanji compound, are you allowed to just choose the reading?

Actually... for compounds... you don't make them up yourself. They are already existing words. So it won't be び. Not to mention my computer doesn't recognize it as a word. "White fire" is something like 白い火
Usually in compounds it is read onyomi-onyomi, but can be kunyomi-kunyomi, BUT will also be onyomi-kunyomi or kunyomi-onyomi. In short, just learn the words. Making up words is not recommended on my part. If you want a word, look it up.
KANJI TIP:
白 ハク ビャク しろ しら しろ-い（白い）
火 カ ひ ほ

I asked 2chan and they said it that compound didn't exist. So, yeah
Though to be honest, I thought maybe a compound like that would exist, along with other colours describing fire, but never mind
Gotta love those kanji compounds!

Ah, yeah, I was hoping to avoid the shiroi hi use, and make it into my own compound..it just kind of breaks the flow.
Yeah, I really thought "white fire" wouldn't be hard to find a kanji compound on. It's not an unheard of name, and it uses the most basic kanji (even in English, those are basic words~).

What do you mean? If it's from an anime then it isn't real.

I would think 白い火 because "white" is still an adjective.

I'm working on a project and I was planning on using that as a name, and I thought I remembered anime bending the rules a little.
