| Comment | Following up on (and amending) Rene Malenfant's amendment proposal:
I agree with putting ど田舎 first, since it is the most common form. But methinks there is a sufficient number of Googits for each of the shown kanji versions to include those, as well (the cost is minimal, after all). ;-) I would not use "iK" (in this case i don't think we have incontrovertible evidence that all those NJS using one of those kanji are mistaken), but i don't care if you mark them as obscure or such. ;-) |

| Editorial Comment | Hmmm. 超田舎/度田舎/怒田舎 are pretty unusual. I think they need some tags - either ateji or iK. |

of confusion with the term "Northeast Passage", which, thanks to global warming, will be in the news more often from now on (and not everybody in the world would automatically understand that the directions implied by these expressions are based on a European perspective). |

| Comment | the ど in ど田舎--supposedly derived from どう in old japanese--is etymologically unrelated to 怒, 度, and certainly 超. that makes them (ateji) at the very least, or rather (iK) in my opinion--i don't put much stock in the way people write things on the web (i.e. when "athiest" gets about half a million hits)
plus, i guess i'm a fan of prescriptive dictionaries |

I have not read the book myself, but I am picking up references to it in some other text and I was searching for confirmation of the reading of the name on your site. It was not there, but searching around some more, and seeing its wide use [see Google] I believe that it may be useful to include it.
I have used "male given name" because that seems right. |
