Talk:Ōmisoka

Etymology
I'm a Japanese user. I'm always surprised at high completeness on the articles about Japan. But I felt some insufficiency today. I think the majority of Japanese knows the etymology of the omisoka, but I don't have any data or findings, then it's OK. According with miso, in the Japanese original numeric system so is not a suffix, it's simply means ten in the since like Chinese numeric system 十 (ten), such as mi-so-hito-mo-ji (kanji:三十一文字 We japanese sometimes call Tanka (poetry) as misohitomoji because 5+7+5+7+7 makes 31 characters), mi-so-ji (kanji:三十路 means 30 years old or 30s, 40s=yo-so-ji, 50s=i-so-ji and so on). You who reads through this would understand why I don't modify the articl by myself. Yes, my English is terrible. Would you please modify the article properly. Thank you.--Monte Fango (talk) 03:26, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
