*Macrons
omitted in the romanization of chapters 4, 24, 39, 43, 52.
Yuugao,
Kochou (Kochoo), Koubai (Koobai), Yuugiri, Kagerou (Kageroo)
(Some
specialists prefer to represent the doubled o as -ou-, some as -oo-.)
Conventionally
the Japanese doubled vowel is represented by the circumflex (^) when the macron
(line above vowel) cannot be used, but troubles are caused when any diacritical
accents and kanji
are mixed in web pages. For a version without kanji titles but with vowels marked, see
this version.
