[edit] Removed statement

Even in the present day, when え (e) follows a mora containing the vowel "u", it is sometimes pronounced as "we" (such as 上 (ue) being pronounced as "uwe").

This statement needs to be sourced, if it isn't completely bogus. I hear no, nor have I ever seen any proper documentation of, modern-day rounding of the /u/ sound where it was historically written ゑ, and as it is this statement reeks of original research, presumably be an intermediate student of Japanese. In what phonetic system is "uwe" an understandable description of pronunciation? Please provide a reference. 222.159.203.158 04:32, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
