| Comment | The previously given sense of "classification for Japanese verb with the dictionary form ending in "ku"" appeared in no reference works that I consulted. Also, the hiragana form is always preferred when speaking about the morae themselves, although the katana form seems to be sometimes used to refer explicitly to the katakana table. The inexact term "Japanese syllabary table" is used to keep consistency with gojūon-related entries in edict. |

| Comment | This was used to terminate a short manga, 雪源渺々, which tells a story that takes place during the Russo-Japanese war--probably to give an antique feeling.
It took me a long time to figure out that this was an older "spelling" of the common expression "owari" for "the end" at the conclusion of a communication--and only when I saw it used elsewhere, similarly (on-line) did I realize that this is the same sound change as "kaha" becoming modern "kawa" ("river"). Apparently, it was common to write this notation in katakana. |
