Orthography Notes
- kumo くも becomes gumo ぐも in this word because of a change in pronunciation called rendaku.
- kumo is a jukujikun 熟字訓 reading for 蜘蛛 in this word. That is: those kanji are only read that way when they come together like that.
Beware: some kanji that are difficult to handwrite are easy to type on the computer, which may skew the usage statistics.
