TABLES
The revised Hepburn Romanisation system is used for Japanese words. An apostrophe is used between combinations n and yo, for example, to distinguish between the sounds nyo and nyo. Macrons are used as appropriate on Japanese words. Macrons denote long vowel sounds and are twice the length of a short vowel in pronunciation. Macrons have been added as appropriate to words in quotations where they were omitted in the original.
