Vassals list

edit

I don't think such a list belongs on the main page - it's just a lengthy list of names and ultimately adds little meaning or value. But I don't want to trash it entirely, so it's going here.

These samurai were vassals of Amago clan and listed by their date of birth.

Amago or Amako?

edit

The romanised spelling seems to be a contested issue, similar to the Asai/Azai controversy. The Japanese kanji reading itself implies that it can be pronounced either way (it's read Amako, but adding dakuten marks in the middle of words like this is fairly common, so it could be Amago). I've heard both used before, e.g. Amago on this article as it is now (3/3/14) and Amako in some sources e.g. the works of Stephen Turnbull. Is there a decisive answer to this?Homusubi244 (talk) 18:37, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
