Kun: みことのり (mikotonori, 詔, Jōyō); つげる (tsugeru, 詔げる)

Usage notesEdit

This is one of only three everyday kanji with a 5 morae reading, and one of only two nouns, namely 詔(みことのり) (mikotonori). The only other kanji with a 5 morae reading are 承, in the verb 承(うけたまわ)る (uketamawaru), and 志(こころざし) (kokorozashi), and no everyday kanji have a 6 or more morae reading.

The unusually long reading is due to it representing a triple compound word, analyzed as 御(み)言(こと)宣(のり) (mikotonori), yielding 1+2+2=5.
