Ku (Kana)

く, in Hiragana, or Katakanaクare Japanese characters of the kana system, or listen to the hiragana and katakana writing systems. They represent both a Mora. In the modern Japanese alphabetical order they are in eighth place. Theくis also the 28th letter in Iroha, immediately after and beforeやお. In the Gojūon table ( sorted by columns from left to right) standsかin the second column (か行, " column Ka " ) and in the third row (う 段, " row U"). Both represent [ ku ͍ ] dar.

In the Ainu language, the Katakanaクcan be written in the reduced version ㇰ to represent the final consonants k, as inアイヌイタㇰ ITAK Ainu ( Ainu language ). This case was like other extensions of the katakana developed to Ainu sounds that occur in normal Japanese Katakana represent, can.

Derivation

The shape of both Kana is derived from the kanji久. This is pronounced in modern standard Chinese as jiǔ, in Korean as gu.

Variants
