Talk:Kōma War

That was something I thought yesterday, and I almost put it in the forum =/ the difference between the 3 kind of using long vowels in japanese. That's, is there really a difference between "こうま" (ko-u-ma), "こーま" (ko-ma) and "こおま" (ko-o-ma)? Although I think the hyphen "ー" is just used in Katakana and not in Hiragana, there's still the question about the "ko-u" and "ko-o". If both are the same, then both "kōma" (こうま) and "sensō" (せんそう) are written OK, but I'm not entirely sure =/ I'll try to ask Patas or Tokitama about this.
 * According to my japanese dictionary, "ー" is used as the long vowel indicator in Katakana only. It says (translated from hungarian): If a syllable ending with "o" or "u" is followed by "う", then the vowel should be pronounced long. This is also the case when a syllable ending with "o" is followed by "お". --Pip25 11:57, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
