Romaji
Can anyone fix this template to display the correct romaji?

The conjunctive ending うて undergoes 長音化 with the preceding vowel. This means that オ段仮名＋うて should be romanized as -ōte, and ア段仮名＋うて should be converted to オ段仮名＋うて and romanized similarly (although this case is very rare). Same for the perfective ending うた. But as the underlying template adds a "." between the stem and the ending, this is simply impossible.

My former solution was to manually "expand" the template into and fix the romaji. But the result was pretty long, and wasn't reusable by.

 * Your remark is etymologically correct. However, since 問うた is a literary form, I think its pronunciation is unstable now. The majority may pronounce it as tōta correctly, but some Kantō people pronounce it as touta. I personally pronounce the latter. That will need some research. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 23:16, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
