Usage notes

In modern Japanese, old /ฮฒฬžu/ evolved into /u/, and is written as ใ† in hiragana and ใ‚ฆ in katakana. The sound /ฮฒฬžu/ was reintroduced later and is written as ใ†ใ… in hiragana and ใ‚ฆใ‚ฅ in katakana - however most speakers pronounce this as a long /u/ sound.
  • ๐›„Ÿ is a retrospective invention. It was not actually used in the ancient Japanese literature (which uses man'yลgana instead) and thus is not included in the historical kana orthography.
  • In Meiji era grammar books, ๐›„Ÿ was sometimes used to spell ใƒฏ่กŒไธ‹ไบŒๆฎตๆดป็”จ verbs.
  • In ancient times, all ใฏ่กŒ sounds were pronounced /pV/ (โ€œVโ€ being any of the Japanese vowels). Then, during the Nara period, it shifted to /ษธV/ when it was in the middle or at the end of a word. Between the Heian and Kamakura periods, /ษธV/ changed to /ฮฒV/โ†’/ฮฒฬžV/โ†’/V/. Some older grammar books used ๐›„Ÿ to show this in ใƒ่กŒๅ››ๆฎตๆดป็”จ verbs, ใƒ่กŒไธŠไบŒๆฎตๆดป็”จ verbs, and ใƒ่กŒไธ‹ไบŒๆฎตๆดป็”จ verbs (e.g. ๆ€(ใŠใ‚‚)ใต (omofu) as ๆ€(ใŠใ‚‚)๐›„Ÿ (omowu).
