The word *wild card* wasn't used. Honestly, I said don't worry. However, both of you seem too overly concerned. The explanation is clear, and I no longer further address it. If it is the result of a misunderstand for me it ends here.

Surreal Wrote:I think this is what omoishinji was talking about: when you want to indicate a simple drawn out え sound in hiragana, you usually write えい like in for example the name れいこ, instead of れえこ which is something different (I don't have the linguistics lingo to properly describe this, sorry). It's the same thing when the お sound is drawn out, you write おう, in for example 王(おう）, instead of おお. So カレー would in hiragana be written かれい, hence why the following word started with い. Btw, what I think made your explanation confusing, Omoishinji, was that for some reason you wrote カレー→カリー... Maybe you meant to write カレー→カレイ？
