And digraphs for palatalized consonants and other combinations: *ni* + 
small *ya* for *nya*, *ki* + small *yo* for *kyo* (+ nigori for *gyo*), 
*te* + small *i* for *ti* (+ nigori for *di*), *u* + small *e* for *we*, 
etc.

There are a few homonyms (*su* + nigori -> *zu*, *tsu* + nigori -> *zu*, 
etc.), but let's just ignore those.

And let's not get into a discussion on the differences between syllables 
and morae.  :-)
