    Yep. There are rules. Just trying to make the point that the orthography on its own doesn’t 100% accurately tell one everything.

      Yeah, fair enough. It’s a lot more predictable than English, but if you don’t know the rules, kana alone would be insufficient for proper pronunciation. (Pitch accent is a whole other story.)
