(Just joined the list â?" hi all!)

<snip: Capitalization of Noh/noh etc.>

To follow-up on this: I assume this refers to various entries I recently wrote (Iâ??m currently taking a kyÅ?gen course, and hence lots of technical vocabulary), and Iâ??m fine with lower-case all around, as per arguments (consistency with European arts and general practice).

I suspect that è?½ is often rendered as â??Nohâ?? (which is how I wrote it in the submissions) simply because itâ??s short (and close to â??noâ??), hence more easily confused, but as noted, we should consistently use â??nohâ??.

best,
