Orthography Notes
- ちょ is a compound kana representing a single syllable with multiple characters.
- same さめ becomes zame ざめ in this word because of a change in pronunciation called rendaku.
Beware: some kanji that are difficult to handwrite are easy to type on the computer, which may skew the usage statistics.
