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.”.
