 * , from
 * Blue_Glass_Arrow.svg Shogakukan is really good about indicating historical kana spellings, as is Daijirin, and neither give any indication of a tama reading in this compound -- it always takes rendaku. Googling about appears to confirm this.  I've tweaked the above request to use the rendaku-ed dama reading instead.
 * Blue_Glass_Arrow.svg My apologies for the erroneous request; it was based upon Kotodama, whose second paragraph reads "This Japanese compound kotodama combines koto 言 "word; speech" and tama 霊 "spirit; soul" (or 魂 "soul; spirit; ghost") voiced as dama in . In contrast, the kototama pronunciation especially refers to kototamagaku (言霊学?, "study of kotodama"), which was popularized by  in the  religion. […]" Clearly, the Wikipedia article has incorrect content. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 15:47, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The first two paragraphs of the EN WP article look like they might be partially a translation of content in the JA WP article ja:w:言霊. I note that the JA WP article itself is entirely unsourced, with the revision history showing some apparent edit-sparring (not quite full-out edit-warring).  The JA WP article on ja:w:言霊学 was apparently deleted in 2012 due to being original research, and I think the article had been written by user Nanakusa Mike (ja:w:User:七草みけ), as indicated by that user's own page describing writing the article (left side of this diff).  That user was also the one who added the content on the JA WP article ja:w:言霊 that added the mention of 言霊学 and expanded upon the kototama reading, in this edit back in 2007.
 * Poking around in the history of the Kotodama article, I find that w:User:Keahapana added the content about the kototama reading in this edit in 2007. No references or sources were given.
 * Given that the UVA online copy of the Man'yōshū at http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/japanese/manyoshu/ doesn't list any kototama reading, using only kotodama from what I've been able to find (see searching for ことたま vs. searching for ことだま), I'm strongly tempted to think that the kototama reading is either 1) bogus, or 2) extremely rare. More research is probably in order, though, before entirely ruling it out, given our low CFI bar of only three valid citations.  &#8209;&#8209; Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 09:41, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you for undertaking that extraordinary amount of investigatory work. I, for one, am certainly satisfied that ことだまがく is the spelling that I should have requested. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 13:51, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * No worries. :)  I realized that I needed to do more looking before I could categorically rule out the existence of a kototamagaku reading, so this was all useful background research for eventually creating the  entry (or editing it, if someone else beats me to it).  &#8209;&#8209; Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 16:51, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

 * [[Image:Arrowred.png|15px]] This appears to be classical usage, given the verb ending. The verb  can broadly mean “superior giving or granting something to an inferior”, or simply convey an honorific on the agent of a verb when used after the  form of another verb.  The  ending here is almost certainly the classical perfective auxiliary verb, which follows the  or  form (mostly indistinguishable, as both use the -e ending) of  verbs.

な, ナ (na)

 * I can only find this online such as on [|Weblio], and that definition plus the lack of others supports my conclusion that this is (only) a word similar to 無さそう, where the nominal form of 無い, namely 無さ, has the suffix げ (usually written in hiragana but actually 気) which makes this word interesting but not the type of word that EN WT usually includes. Therefore I suggest that this entry too be struck but that the suffix be added to げ and 気. On the other hand Weblio says that it is a "young peoples' word" so maybe it is special somehow.  --Haplology (talk) 17:47, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
