  hiragana
       
           The cursive formed Japanese {kana} syllabary.
          Hiragana is mostly used for grammatical particles,
          verb-inflection, and Japanese words which are not written in
          {kanji} or which are too difficult for an educated person to


          read or write in {kanji}.  Hiragana are also used for
          {furigana}.
