[edit]
A user has added this reconstruction entry to requests for deletion(+).
Please see that page for discussion and justifications beyond the initial comment of: “What is the basis for reconstructing the OJP final vowel as ⟨o2? This term is not attested in man'yōgana, based on what I can find in ONCOJ. The OJP term might have been ⟨wono1 instead, in which case the Proto would presumably have to be wono.”. You may continue to edit this reconstruction entry while the discussion proceeds, but please mention significant edits at the RFD discussion and ensure that the intention of votes already cast is not left unclear.
