Doesn't it seem odd to you that we need to enumerate some of these cases ?
I had to look up what Kotoeri is .. and I suspect it is actually obsolete and we can get rid of it ?
But why do one or two cases need special treatment and hundreds of others not ?
@naotoj - Naoto do you understand any of this ?
