Hi all, I am currently trying to make a list of nouns, where only 45 base (unmodified) Hiragana are used (so no ざじずぜぞ or きゃきゅきょetc.）I also took out を, as it is a grammatical particle – so not 46, but 45 characters may be used.
– Main challenge point is to not use any character twice –
Currently my best approach (with focus on non-obscure words) is below list with 23 words:
１あわ Bubble ２たこ (Octobus/Kite) ３いぬ (Dog) ４ゆめ (Dream) ５よる (Night) ６もん(Gate) ７やま(Mountain) ８しろ(Castle) 9はれ(Clear Sky) １0うみ(Sea) １１ひふ(Skin) １２かさ(Umbrella) １３せき(Seat/Cough) １４くち(Mouth) １５おの(Axe) １６ほね(Bone)１７え(Picture) 18てつ(Iron) 19す(Vinegar) ２0なに(What? – I know technically no noun^^) ２１へそ(Belly Button) ２２けむり(Smoke) ２３とら (Tiger)
If you would like to take the challenge, try to make the list shorter and with more common words.
