| Comment | Re Editorial Comment: < Shouldn't I show the yomikata as みやこをどり? Or as both みやこおどり and みやこをどり? >
I don't think so. Only the writing (表記）is 歴史的. Since the yomikata みやこをどり will be pronounced みやこおどり anyway,I don't think there's any point in showing the yomikata with を. BTW, there's an interesting story about a discovery that some young NSJs pronouncing を with a "wo," not "o" sound. http://www.ytv.co.jp/announce/kotoba/back/1101-1200/1196.html |

| Comment | RE2: Editorial Comment: < Shouldn't I show the yomikata as みやこをどり? Or as both みやこおどり and みやこをどり? >
I've given it some more thought, and I'm now becoming confused. Is "Reading" supposed to show actual "pronunciation" or "ひらがな表記" ? I thought it was pronunciation, and therefore recommended against including みやこをどり as a reading. But if it is merely hiragana 表記、then perhaps it should be みやこをどり and not みやこおどり. The readings for the を、へ、and は for some entries show writing (表記）, not pronunciation. Ex: The reading for 愛嬌を振りまく is given as あいきょうをふりまく. If the reading is to show the pronounciation, it should be あいきょうおふりまく. As I said, I am totally confused. Perhaps we should follow 大辞林 and show both みやこおどり and みやこをどり as readings? |

| Editorial Comment |
It's really the kana 表記, which is why I suggested putting を for お (if
I strictly had pronunciations, I'd have わ and え instead of は and へ for
the 助詞 in entries.)
What I have done is put in both みやこをどり and みやこおどり, but tied them to 都をどり and 都踊り respectively. See: http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1MDJ%C5%D4%CD%D9%A4%EA |

according to this page, which quotes a number of dictionaries, 両拳 means "the scissors" (両 is used because there are two fingers stuck out) and is pronounced りゃんけん (両="liang" in chinese) http://gogensanpo.hp.infoseek.co.jp/main2.html kojien semi-agrees: (「石拳」から。一説に「両拳」の中国音から) japanese wikipedia uses that page as a resource for the じゃんけん article, but completely misquotes it. also, without getting into all the regional variations, "rock, paper, scissors" is by far the most common english phrase |
