You can buy a "gyakubiki jiten éåãèå" (reverse dictionary) such as "Gyakubiki Koujien éåãåèè" or "Nihongo Gyakubiki Jiten ææèéåãè å" through Amazon.com Japan (http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/ix=books-jp&rank=%2Bs alesrank&fqp=keywords%01%E9%80%86%E5%BC%95%E3%81%8D%E8%BE%9E%E5%85%B8&nsp=se arch-type%01quick-search&sz=10&pg=1/250-1862945-3201038). If you go to the "Eijiro" page (http://www.alc.co.jp/) and type in "shii", you can get a long list of examples containing "-shii" ending words (e.g. atarashii, tadashii, yosoyososhii, etc.). One correction. I was wrong when I said all the "-shii" ending adjectives mean an inward state. I should have said that (almost) all the adjectives that express emotions and feelings end with "-shii" (e.g. kanashii, sabishii, ureshii, tanoshii, etc.).
