Usage notes edit
The ケラヴァ (Kerava) spelling appears to be slightly more common in online usage than ケラバ (Keraba), and the use of the ヴァ (va) digraph immediately marks this word as a foreign borrowing. However, for most Japanese speakers, the pronunciation will be closer to ケラバ (Keraba), due to the lack of any /v/ phoneme in the native Japanese consonant inventory.
