Usage notes
- Infamous for supposedly having the longest kun'yomi ever, ものかげからきゅうにとびだしてひとをおどろかせるときにはっするこえ (monokage kara kyū ni tobidashite hito o odorokaseru toki ni hassuru koe, literally “sound produced when suddenly jumping from the shadows to scare a person”), but this is actually just the definition.
