Which is EXACTLY like Japanese. You can't tell from the hiragana either
if it is Ho-uchi-yama or Hou-chi-yama. Moti has no special "system", he
only claimed to transcribe the hiragana more correct. Your point just
proves him right... I'm all for kanji education, so we can leave the
shikona and kimarite in kanji. ;-)
