Second paragraph

I find the second paragraph of this article a bit convoluted...anyone else?

Japanese

I don't have the linguistics credentials to feel confident writing this on the main page, but I am curious--what about the case of kun-yomi in modern Japanese? Isn't even the most basic such case, e.g. reading 山 as やま, a heterogram, since the character's "real sound" (according to the meaning of the word on-yomi itself) is サン? Even if such ordinary kun-yomi as やま for 山 seem like a stretch, the case of jukuji-kun like reading 明日 as あす or あした seems more in line with this. Just a thought! 130.132.173.69 (talk) 18:44, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
