Guess again

This article used to have the line ""O-" is a Japanese prefix meaning big." This is 100% mistaken. Ono is a single word in Japanese that cannot be broken down into any recognizable parts. Besides, o- means "small"; it's oo---a long sound--that means "big." Please refrain from posting about the Japanese language if you're only at the beginning or intemediate level! If you haven't lived in Japan and studied Japanese for many, many years, you should probably just read and not contribute. It's better to have no entry than a wrong one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Squidley (talk • contribs)

Image Missing

Perhaps someone should upload a picture of an ono? I searche dbut only found basic normal axes.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.20.32.223 (talk • contribs)

Well, an ono is pretty much just a "basic normal axe". It's pretty much a peasants' tool and there isn't a particular craftsmanship associated with it, and no special interest of it for neither its historical or artistic value in and out of Japan. It might be hard to find an image. Uly 21:56, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
