If anyone can improve this template by putting in some parser functions or anything else, please do. I don't know how. --Tea and crumpets 15:13, 23 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

As you can see, the two man'yogana are listed, but which one is the progenitor of which kana is not specified. They list the Man'yōgana that the kana derives from, but it NEEDS to be made clear which mayogana the hiragana derives from and where the katagana dervies from. For excample, け comes from 計 and ケ comes from 介, but the info box does not make that clear. I made the mistake.68.148.164.166 (talk) 23:01, 8 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

I changed the display "hiragana/katakana manyogana" to "h/k origin". In manyougana, there's no hiragana nor katakana, and multiple kanjis represented a syllable. See also hentaigana for the history of kana. Thanks for your interest in Japanese. --Ahora (talk) 09:03, 15 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
