What are some of the weird furigana that people have seen?
By "weird", I mean pronunciations that you never hear in Japanese.
For example I was reading a Japanese cooking magazine,
and came across the word 胡麻山椒 (こまさんせう).
The magazine broke the furigana up as follows:
胡 = こ
麻 = ま
山 = さん
椒 = せう
This is probably the only time I've ever seen せう used as furigana
for a single kanji.
Anyone else with similar examples?
