	Comments:	What's the source for them though? "嗟夫" for example gets 0 hits on bing (set to Japanese,there's some Chinese hits though). there's some hits on google books but they seem to mean something else.
6.	A* 2013-02-15 23:20:27 Jim Breen <...address hidden...>
	Comments:	Marcus wrote: "can't we just remove a bunch of them? except for 嗚呼 and 噫, none of them are in daij/nikk. (吁 is, but as おの)", and proposed an amendment trimming it back to just 嗚呼 and 噫. I really don't agree - all the kanji forms are rare, but I think it's useful to have them recorded and searchable. I'm dropping Marcus' version and added a note about ateji, but I'll keep the thread open.

	Comments:	i don't think there's anything palatable that can be done with it. any entry for a species name that has another non-biological sense suffers from the same problem. a shortcoming of the swapping system
2.	A* 2010-09-17 09:07:35 Jim Breen <...address hidden...>
	Comments:	Yes, and I can't see an easy fix. The heuristic for "uk" cases is to pull the katakana to the front if there is one, otherwise pull the hiragana to the front. A possible fix is to break アー out into its own extry.
1.	A* 2010-09-17 07:50:54 Paul Blay <...address hidden...>
	Comments:	I think this fails the 'nokanji' display fix. It displays like the following: アー《嗚呼; 於乎; 於戯; 嗟乎; 嗟夫; 吁; 嗟; 噫; 鳴呼》【ああ】 (int) (1) (uk) Ah!; Oh!; Alas!; (2) Yes; Indeed; That is correct; (3) Hey!; Yo!; (4) Uh huh; Yeah yeah; Right; Gotcha But ああ is actually the most commonly seen version.
