 * I appreciate your attempt to correct what appeared to be a grammatical number error. I follow the custom in Japanese historiography of referring to two different historical books, the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki, collectively as the "Kiki". While "Kiki" seems like a singular, and in fact I also was treating it as such, it is actually a "fossilized" plural. I went back and changed "kiki embellishes" to "kiki embellish" to achieve uniformity. I recently found that one instance was hyper-corrected to treat it as a singular again. For the sake of uniformity, and also to retain the relevance of the two accounts often contradicting each other which is a central theme of the entire Replacement Theory which the page is about, it would improve the article to maintain this exceptional instance of a plural appearing as a singular to readers unaccustomed to this specific terminology. 2806:102E:5:6D9D:248C:911F:5E6F:FBBA (talk) 19:08, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
