Japanese Numbering
editA question about the transliteration of Japanese romanji numbering for the 24th Naval Air Unit (the transliterations of Sentai, Kokutai, chutai, shotai, &c being an different can of worms)--and any other numbered unit.
In the Japanese romanji numbering I learned, the number '4' was written as "Shi" in the ones column, or as "Yon" in the tens column. Being an English Naval Officer by training, this may have been overly simplified for Anglicisation, but I have seen it employed fairly extensively.
Does anyone know, and can site, of a definitive source for how 4 (and 7) ought to be written in romanji in what usage? Is "4" Shi, but "14" Jyuyon instead of Jyushi? Or are they interchangeable?
