Shouldn't "Tsukemonoishi" be "Tsukemono'ishi"? (A check on the kanji Wiktionary states this, but the guy on at ja.wikipedia is confused on if an apostrophe should be placed) WhisperToMe 05:02, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The Japanese language doesn't have apostrophes. Also, it doesn't have spaces between words. So the question is one of English, not Japanese.

Since tsukemono is a word (pickle) and ishi is a word (rock or stone), it would make sense to separate the two words with a space, or link them with a hyphen, or write the compound as a single word. I would not recommend an apostrophe. User:222.12.130.169

There's no need for an apostrophe. Apostrophes are used to make it clear which syllable is used in writing the word in Japanese. There are two possibilities with this word as it's written: tsu-ke-mo-no-i-shi or tsu-ke-mo-n-o-i-shi. If the Japanese writing was the latter then I'd put in an apostrophe. It's also clear in this article which it is because the word tsukemono is mentioned. Exploding Boy 08:22, Jul 24, 2004 (UTC)
