Shishi

So, I know nothing about Japanese, but it seems wrong to have both Shishi and shishi as translits....--New WT User Girl (talk) 09:09, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

One is a proper noun 🤷 —Suzukaze-c◇◇ 18:08, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

• Ya, this is SOP for JA terms that have proper nouns -- the romanization of the proper noun takes initial capitalization. If there's also a homophonic term that is not a proper noun, then you have cases like this one, where there are two romanizations that differ solely in capitalization.

See also Mandarin Qín and qín as a similar example in a different language. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 00:51, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
