And on an only-semi-related note, is there a standard for whether lexical units formed through reduplication should be listed as one or two words? (For instance, 「クルクル」 is written "Kurukuru" on [[Spiral Mountain]]'s page, while 「サビサビ」 is written "Sabi Sabi" on [[Rusty Bucket Bay]]'s.) --{{unsigned|Zeal}} | And on an only-semi-related note, is there a standard for whether lexical units formed through reduplication should be listed as one or two words?
