Comments for 普通

If you have any questions about this entry, or would like to write a sample sentence using the vocabulary, please do so below. Your comment will appear in the forum for other users of the site to view and discuss.

I find it strange that many dictionaries, including this one, have no entry for the first character in this compound, 普, under it's pronunciation "フ." This may be the only case in which the character takes the reading of フ, but it's still confusing to a learner not to turn up any entries under that reading.

Actually, in this dictionary searching the first character alone yields no results. However using WWJDIC, I turned up proper names using 普 such as ひとし,あまね and しん. I feel there should be an entry for 普 that leads to the compound here, as well as the variant proper name readings.
