Appendix:Japanese words written in mixed kana

While many Japanese words are written in kanji with following hiragana (okurigana), or some script (kanji or either kana) + and others are written purely in hiragana or purely in katakana, a few words are written in a mixture of hiragana and katakana, generally katakana with following hiragana, and are not simply of the form “katakana + -suru”. These include:
 * , from French +  to make it a verb.
 * , from English +  to make it a verb.
 * , from Google + to make it a verb.
 * , from "standby" + to make it a verb.

Note that more common would be to suffix to make these into verbs.


 * ドラえもん (, a manga character): “Dora” is from “dora neko” (stray cat), and is a corruption of nora (stray). “Emon” is a component of male given names, such as Goemon, though no longer as popular in the past.
 * , which combines the hiragana, the katakana and the kanji , which are the three strokes used to write the kanji.
